IMHO this is the best formation that Madredeus had.And this is too ,my favorite cd of the band.When Rodrigo Leão,Francisco Ribeiro and Gabriel Gomes left the band after the 4th original cd from the band and where trade by a bass player, a second guitar player and a new keyboard player, the band changed is style to some kind of classical guitar band and a little bit of the spell was lost.
In this cd (the second they released),all the band was at the top of creativity.The music was nice,it´s sounded diferent all the time and the instrumental tracks were magnificent(take a look at Tardes de Bolonha and As Ilhas dos Açores).After this, come the fame and what can i say?People liked it ,and they become famous,but for me ,some of the enchantement the 3 other players that left , had on the band was what i admire and make me come to the cd´s again and again.
Now they are a boring guitar band . 
| QUOTE: | | Existir is the second album recorded by Madredeus, and it is truly a jewel... Released in 1990, it brings many remarkable songs, and the first worldwide success of the group, O Pastor. This piece, hard to describe or classify in any musical rythm or school, is still one of the most famous songs of the group. Teresa Salgueiros voice were already marvelous, and the fine harmonies and arrangments, joining instruments like the cello and the classic guitar, the accordion and the keyboards, made Madredeus the outstanding success they are up to now... After all, who can survive emotionless after listening to songs like O Pomar das Laranjeiras? Robertson Frizero Barros in Amazon.com, Agosto de 2000 |
