Roberto Carlos Por Raquel Tavares
Fabulous! Look, I’ve lived here in Brazil for 15 years, and I have tried to spend a little time every day nursing my distaste, if not outright disdain, for Roberto Carlos. But once past the Mantovani Strings-heavy first couple of bars of the first cut of this present album posting, I allowed myself to get caught up in all the treacly emotionalism of the music and even the lyrics and I really liked it. “Como é grande o meu amor por você!” “How great is my love for you!” Goodness gracious. Whenever I have the misfortune to hear Roberto Carlos “The King” (so-called) sing this (as background music in a shoe store, for example), I wince. But with this amazing portuga Raquel Tavares at the microphone, I have, yes, I admit it, allowed myself to get kind of swept away – so long live cultural hybridism. But now the reality check: My wife Barbara said, “What’s THAT?” (She did not say, “Turn it off.” But she did leave the room.) It will not be among the effects of this present album that I go back and give “O Rei” himself a further and this time more open-minded listen. O Rei’s audience is pretty much the same as Julio Iglesias’s – women of a certain age and a certain social class, love-starved. (For the record, Iglesias is a lot better looking that his Brazilian counterpart. He certainly has better hair.) I shall, however, listen to the present CD another couple of times. I am curious to see how long it takes me to come back to myself and get sick of it.
ReplyDeleteThis love starved woman of a certain social class loves it.
ReplyDeleteMark, I grew up listening RC and I can't agree with you when you say that RC and JI have the same audience. RC start his career by the end of the 50's, JI start his career at least 10 years after and RC was already "the king". In this period, you can compare him with Elvis not with JI. If Elvis was the king in USA, why RC couldn't be the king in Brazil? After the 70's RC changed, become more pop and more romantic, he lost his rocker side. Cause of this, I understand why you compare him with JI, although I don't agree.
ReplyDeletePS: I'm not brazilian, I'm portuguese.
