HOLLYWOOD IN RIO

for lovers of life and music everywhere, here comes a CD to define the chart sweeping Rio Lounge so vogue today. Finally in your hands is the authentic connection between an ardent Ipanema sun and lush,opulent Beverly Hills palm trees, as Ana Caram's silky voice takes you on a voyage through a world of cinemascope technicolor tunes.

After triumphantly releasing five masterful productions for Chesky records, Ana Caram elevates this, her sixth, withever-innovative vocalized immersions, splashing transcendent notes over higher intercontinental ground in Hollywood rio. In an industry flooded with disposable hits, this is a collection of everlasting soundtracks that immortalized Hollywood.An unavoidable melting begun in me at the start with estate, italian for summer,a classic ballad of infinite tenderness and romance born in the land of amore. What follows is a bilingual waterfall splashing down Brazilian sensuality embodied in Ana Caram's cadence.

Together with producer and arranger Michel Friedenson, and his versatile synthesizer,
Ms. caram has conjugated much more than the verbs of love and ecstasy fused in The summer Know- their alchemy of lush arrangements and simplicity revives the seasons with the unpretentious kiss of the bolero. In here there and everywhere, the fine line between Jazz and Bossa praises the undying power of that Liverpool quarter's invasion that will never end- so let it tickle oyour being in tempo too.

Ms Caram injects jeitinho Brasileirom, the Brazilian way, into Ned washington and reg Howard's I', getting Sentimental Over You, Johnny Mandel's the Shadow of Your Smile ( from Sandpipers ) Burt Bacharach's Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head ( form Butch Cassidy and the sundance Kid ) as well as smile ( from Charlie Chaplin's City Lights );and Herman Hupfeld's as Time Goes By ( from CasaBlanca ).

The Bonus of three Brazilian tunes drenches this CD with glamorous romance from the Tropic starting with LInda, a celebration of the beaty and sensuality of the Ipanema woman,national symbol of beaty. Then there is tempero Brasileiro, Brazilian Spice, where the truth behind this musical collection resides. With this tune ana wants to show us how to cook a goos samba with a pinch of flavor from Carioca swing mixed with her spicy bossa nova.

F inally, there is Pra voce, for you, and that it is.
