Details: Product Description 2003 album from Brazilian singer, her third in which she expresses her Brazilian roots. There are more songs in Portuguese than her previous albums, & the music will appeal to a more international audience due to the superb blend of bossa, gypsy jazz & modern grooves. 13 tracks. Digipak. Saravah. Amazon.ca Carmine is the color of passion: the kind that Bïa brings to music, to love, to life. Sensual, vibrant, intense, Bïa, the Brazilian woman in love with Quebec, delivers, after La Mémoire du vent and Sources, a third intimate album, infused with bossa nova, samba, and French and South American poetry. While she wrote most of the lyrics this time, primarily in Portuguese but also in French, she continues to sing the words of the authors she loves (Gianmaria Testa, Chico Buarque, Michel Modo). Bïa journeys between languorous ballads and rhythmic melodies on this album sung in three languages, recorded in France and Quebec with collaborators of the caliber of Pierre Flynn (Mirador) and Yves Desrosiers (Volodia). With its perfectly integrated influences, its instrumental harmony (violin, flute, guitar, organ, and percussion), its caressing voice—more controlled than ever—and that Brazilian accent that warms every word it brushes against, Carmin confirms Bïa as one of the most worthy representatives of world music. Subtly inimitable. --Pascale Millot
