In “Earth and Sky/Terra e Ceu”, each song has a story to tell. With this album, Maguinha (little magician, or sorceress) serves us a soul-nourishing brew distilled from her Portuguese, African, and Native Brazilian roots. Soft, passionate and vehement, sometimes sultry, or mischievous, or ethereal, but always musical and feeling, she weaves Brazilian tales whose protagonists are the have-nots in that cultural reality.
The guitar chords of Paulo de Carvalho and Ivo de Carvalho (not related) are exquisitely harmonious, sometimes carrying a jazzy bossa nova dissonance, other times boasting an unexpected tapestry of exotic foreign sounds. Felipe Souto’s percussion is always organic and authentically Brazilian. Pat Gullotta, Tyler Kuebler, Knut Garshol, and Maluh de Felice add great instrumental depth to this work with trombone, sax, clarinet and violin solos of melodious and lyrical vibrations.
This CD was nominated for "Best CD of Brazilian Artist Working in the USA" by the 2006 Brazilian International Press Award.
Em português:
No CD “Earth and Sky/Terra e Ceu”, Maguinha conta, em cada música, histórias que se misturam com a sua própria historia, deixando entrever a época da ditadura militar no Brasil. Com este album, Maguinha nos serve uma poção curtida com raízes indígenas, africanas e portuguesas, destinada a alimentar a nossa consciência.
Doce, passional e veemente, com uma picada de malícia e bom humor, plena de ardorosa fé, mas sempre musical e emotiva, Maguinha tece estórias de uma realidade social brasileira onde os protagonistas são aqueles que nada têm.
Os músicos Paulo de Carvalho e Ivo de Carvalho (nenhum parentesco) apresentam violões de intensa e bela harmonia. Felipe Souto mostra uma inabalável percussão, orgânica e autêntica. Pat Gullotta, Tyler Kuebler, Knut Garshol, e Maluh de Felice dão profundidade instrumental ao trabalho com solos melodiosos e improvisados de trombone, sax, clarineta e violino.
