Como and Porque (Here and Now) is transcendent, Ms. Regina providing a light, swinging, graceful rhythm that defies description. She creates a half-hour stream of consciousness overflowing with an absolute joy of life, a colorful panorama of vibrant hues and tones, from the touching ballad "Samba Da Pergunta" to the dark, driving undertone of her "Vai, Vai, Vai" chant in "Canto De Ossanha", and playful handling of "Giro". She is pure and compelling; she makes each song, no matter how often done by others, hers and hers alone. I have no musical training. I just like certain music, and attempt to convey a sense of structure and style that will inform, but her universal appeal requires no analysis. This is my first experience with Elis Regina, and I could not have started in a better place.
