4 out of 5 stars Good But Missing that Cheesy Charm.......2005-09-16

Sister Bossa is a compilation series off of the Irma label that has historically focused on Italian bossa and nu-jazz. Through the years there've been some great artists and tracks featured like Gazzara, Ithamara Koorax, Italian Secret Service, Banda Favela, United Peace Voices and loads more. This is the 6th chapter in the series and it seems like Irma's mixing it up a bit. 2 Discs of tunes, but it's not nearly as bossa influenced as its predecessors. I have to admit, I'm glad I took more time before reviewing this because it actually grew on me.

That much is made clear from the first few tracks. The beats are throbbing and tailor made for the dance-floor. Quite the difference from volume 1's "Bota Pra Quebar"! To be fair though the tracks are remixed and I did like 12 Fingers' Girassol"... good tune to spin as long as you dip out of the song after a few minutes. Coming to the rescue, however, was a new track by Bossa Nostra feat. Silvia Donati titled "Dorival". What a great, great rhythm... but it would be wrong to expect less than quality from Bossa Nostra & I can't wait for future work from them... you won't find this cut anywhere other than Irma. That's followed up with the edit of "Toda Tercafeira" off of Soul Quality Quartet's "Dip". Good song, but there's even better on the album. Other highlights off of album 1 were Japan Iris' "Sushi or Something"... no idea why I love that song. Just a dude ending a session with a bossa beat. Cargo's "Season's is solid too and "Garota Brasilera" takes a page from the classic "Telefone" (was it Carlos Lyra?) track of old. CD2 starts out a bit dreamier than CD1 but it is still mixed with club beats and house. To be honest I didn't like CD2 nearly as much as CD1 but Brisa's beat/guitar influenced "Place in the Sun", Helen Cristina's "Nossa Historia" returns a bit of cheesiness to the Sister Bossa franchise and both Cris Delanno's and Le Berry's "Felicidade"s were good takes IMO.

I recommend this to anyone that want's something different from the rip-off comps that come out every year/summer. I rate it even higher for the originallity and because the songs are not mixed (cross-faded). It did honestly have a bit more heavy hitting beats and house than I would have liked... I missed the break-out tracks that the previous renditions had from 2004 but if Bossa Nostra's cut is any indicator of what to expect from them in the future, I'm happy! And hey, it's a series first, a double disc set. If you dig this, you may also like Brazilution 5.3, "Brazilounge vol 2" and "A Rough Guide to Brazilian Electronica".
