Umm...I think I liked the....Spanish one?

Really good Album. I could probably host a fancy dinner party to this entire Album. It's a nice jazz, with fluid blends of brass and strings. Spanish vocals mixed with English add a harmonic multicultural swing to the mix, making it all the more better. Sometime a girl would start singing, and you wouldn't feel sexist. It's got it all.

Except hardcore drums. It has percussion, I guess, but it's not the same.

Brazil.
