Anne-Florence Schneider: Donaflor
La cantante svizzera Anne-Florence Schneider finge per un attimo di essere nata a Rio de Janeiro e si lancia in questo album di canzoni brasiliane con piglio giusto, anche se forse rimane nell'aria un retrogusto aspro un po' teutonico. Non mancano escursioni verso la chanson francese e divagazioni jazzistiche che prevedono anche il canto scat della Schneider.

Fra i musicisti si mettono in luce in particolare il bassista Dudu Penz, il pianista Floriano Inacio jr. e il chitarrsta Claude Schneider. Il repertorio mischia brani originali composti per l'occasione con classici di Tom Jobim, Edu Lobo, Vinicius de Moraes e Chico Barque. Un bel mix che riflette bene le valenze transnazionali della musica brasiliana, ormai un vero e proprio territorio di espressività, allargato all'intero pianeta.
