Emilio Santiago Albums

What The Critics Say

This release had everything to be one of the best ever. Emílio Santiago, one of the best living Brazilian singers (if not the best), teamed with arranger/pianist César Camargo Mariano and great musicians to produce a tribute album to Dick Farney, one of the best Brazilian singers ever. Interpreting some of the successes of Farney's career, and even incorporating a wonderful special participation by Farney himself, "Nick Bar" (taken from Farney's Meus Momentos), Santiago reaches high emotional degrees in some songs, like the simple duet of acoustic piano/voice in "Somos Dois." But Santiago's commercial bend to electronics, excessive keyboarding, and mild danceable soul music can quickly become boring. ~ Alvaro Neder, All Music Guide
