Brasil was The Manhattan Transfer's tenth album. During the recording sessions they worked with many songwriters, including Ivan Lins, Milton Nascimento, Djavan, and Atlantic records Jazz recording artist Gilberto Gil.
BRASIL was The Manhattan Transfer’s approach to Brazilian music. During the sessions, they worked with some of today’s most gifted songwriters, including Ivan Lins, Milton Nascimento, Djavan, and Atlantic Jazz recording artist Gilberto Gil. The songs were re-arranged and then re-fitted with English lyrics. The album won the Grammy for Best Pop Peformance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The song Soul Food To Go hit on Billboard’s Top Adult Contemporary chart.
Everything that Manhattan Transfer does, they do extremely well. Brasil is no exception. An album recorded in the 80s; it has an unmistakeably 80s tone to it, the percussion tracks in particular. This is not a bossa nova album, but a synthesis of the magnficent vocal harmonies of ManTran with Brazilian musical styles and tones. Overall, not one of their best albums in terms of music selection, but there are some very good numbers, including So You Say, featuring soaring vocals by Ms. Bentyne
