Albums like this one should be released more often, this is a beautiful initiative produced by Zuza Homem de Mello, started four years early when he had the chance to visit Carolina Cardoso de Menezes place and watch Carolina and Fafa performing together as they were a duo of many years of experience.
Carolina Cardoso de Menezes and Fafa Lemos never had the chance to play together professionally. However, Fafa Lemos contribution to the music from Brazil is very important.

Fafa Lemos is the violin and voice of the legendary Trio Surdina, releasing also several solo albums on a career that spans several decades. Carolina Cardoso de Menezes does not need to be introduced, the work she made on blending her classical background with popular music was of a great importance. Anyway, truly beautiful initiative and really nice album. Let’s see.

This is Fafa Lemos e Carolina Cardoso de Menezes – Fafa & Carolina (1989), for Eldorado, featuring Fafa Lemos violin and Carolina Cardoso de Menezes piano in all tracks. They are backed by Saba, Jongo Trio bassist and Lilian Carmona (drums) in most of the tracks. Fafa e Carolina is solid from the start to the end and my personal highlights goes to 02 – Se Acasso Voce Chegasse, 05 – A Saudade Mata a Gente and 11 – Curio Dengoso by Carolina Cardoso de Menezes also in charge of arrangements.

My jaw drops and my heart leaps… this is a stunning album. Two consummate professionals making art together at a time in their lives when they don’t necessarily have to prove anything or push forward professionally. Literally, “music to my ears.” Thanks again Zeca.

Saudações Tupiniquins.
É um lindo álbum. Ainda bem que não caiu no olvido. Música para criar ou viver momentos em paz consigo mesmo. Perdão por escrever em português mas meu inglês é muito ruim. Queria apenas agradecer disponibilizar a grande música desta dupla que senti falta em ouvir… tendo o disco a meu lado porém sem uma pickup para rodá-lo.
Abraço
