Our Take

Brazilian bossa nova icon Carlos Lyra's self-titled album is a delightful throwback to the golden age of the genre, replete with the lush, jazzy guitar work and sultry vocals that put him on the map in the 1960s. Lyra's effortless charm and breezy melodies make this album a joy to listen to, whether you're sipping caipirinhas on the beach or stuck in rush hour traffic.

From the infectious rhythms of "Influência do Jazz" to the dreamy romanticism of "Maria Ninguém," Carlos Lyra's music is like a cool breeze on a sweltering summer day - refreshing, invigorating, and impossible to resist. His unique blend of samba, jazz, and bossa nova is a testament to his enduring creativity and musical prowess, proving once again why he is considered a legend in the Brazilian music scene.

With guest appearances from fellow luminaries like Nara Leão and Roberto Menescal, Carlos Lyra's self-titled album is a must-listen for fans of classic bossa nova and anyone looking to add some Brazilian flair to their music collection. So grab a caipirinha, kick back, and let the smooth sounds of Carlos Lyra transport you to a sun-kissed paradise where the music never stops and the good times never end. Cheers to that!
