Elisete - Gaagua

Elisete's second CD Gaagua -=20 Longing - is a smasher: Elisete=20 Retter and her music are a feast to the ear and the eye, and = harmonizing=20 food for the soul. Amazing and colourful.

With Gaagua, Elisete, ambassador of Israeli and Brazilian culture, = has moved=20 into world music: thirteen composition that bring together a = wide=20 variety of styles, such as pop, brazilectro, samba, favela rap, = afro-american=20 rhythms, with reggae as the connecting element in almost all songs. One = of the=20 most striking examples is track 11, The Sun Will Always Shine, = which is=20 a creative combination of samba reggae and a - very - slow ax=C3=A9=20 touch.

Gaagua, to be launched in 2006, displays Brazilian elements = to a=20 lesser extent than her first CD (Luar= e=20 Cafe) did. But the Brazilian background is present throughout, = in a=20 subtle way: rhythms, traces of forr=C3=B3 accordeon, flute, Quarteto em = Cy-like MBP,=20 and Jobim-inspired piano parts can be heared. And of course the = very funny=20 and very typical 'radio announcements' of Elisete, as Intro and Epilogue = to the=20 CD. And a wonderful version of Chico Buarque's Samba e = Amor.

Brazilian in details, the album strikes the ear as a very accessible=20 pop-reggae world music album. Gaagua breathes Elisete's ambition to make = people=20 in Israel's local reality feeling a little bit happier by bringing them = positive=20 and warm music, in word and sound. Pleasant to listen to, at all times = of the=20 day, at all occasions. Music is an expression of the soul, and = Elisete's =20 soul is certainly is able to bring some good, harmonizing vibrations to = her=20 listeners.

Elisete is also one of the = few artists=20 who understand how to promote themselves in a website in a way that = enables the=20 visitor to get to know her music and live performance: plain html, = beautifully=20 coloured pictures, with easy navigation, and everything that a fan could = wish=20 for: images, mp3s, videoclips that can be downloaded and viewed. The = right way=20 to get to know an artist.
