| Floresta (2014) is an album of covers of some of Mia's favorite |
| Brazilian songs, featuring Fabiano do Nascimento on seven-string |
| guitar and Mauricio Takara on percussion. It was recorded at Estudio |
| el Rocha in Sao Paulo. |
| |
| The material encompasses the rainbow offering of Brazilian song. |
| While there are classics, including Tom Jobim's "Chovendo Na Roseira" |
| and Tom Ze's "Menina Amanha de Manha"-both sambas from different |
| sides of the spectrum-there are also traditional songs such as "Ewe". |
| Interestingly, despite the band's pedigree, there is an unmistakable, |
| laid-back, L.A. post-hippie feel here. It's loose, but focused on |
| nuance and essence. |
| |
| Todd's reading of Joyce's "Misterios" seamlessly melds bossa and MPB. |
| While Caetano Veloso's "Luz du Sol" is as lithe as one might expect, |
| the opposite is true in the two songs by Milton Nascimento. "Portal |
| da Cor" is poignant and striking in a far more skeletal arrangement, |
| while "Cais" is more structured than the songwriter's ballad from |
| Clube Da Esquina, yet no less dreamy. There is a gorgeous version of |
| Antonio Candeia's "Preciso Me Encontrar". |
| |
| With her airy, slightly smoky alto, Todd approaches this material |
| with respect and as someone to whom these songs mean a great deal |
| (check her reading of Dori Caymmi's profound "O Vento"). As an |
| interpreter she sings like she wants to share these songs, rather |
| than leave her mark on them. The academic construct of authenticity |
| isn't an issue because her encounter with this material is |
| emotionally true. Floresta is a gem. It brings the honesty of |
| Brazilian music in all its harmonic and poetic richness to listeners |
| without artifice or affectation. |
