Ná Ozzetti is a sensitive singer from São Paulo, which formed in the ranks of the vanguarda paulistana, beginning as a singer with the extinct group Rumo. In this release, dedicated to the strongly paulistano
Rita Lee's compositions, she continues to be expressed in terms of São Paulo -- nothing wrong there. Recovering since her
Os Mutantes phase ("2001" with
Tom Zé and "Vida de Cachorro" with
Arnaldo and Sérgio Batista),
Ozzetti also covers romantic ballads ("Mania de Você," "Doce Vampiro," "Mutante"), hippie-inspired ecological odes ("Modinha," "Mamãe Natureza"), and rock tunes ("Fruto Proibido," the mildly feminist "Luz del Fuego"), always blending contemporary electric grooves with acoustic renditions in free recreations. Extracting the best of Lee's repertory, avoiding the disco phase,
Ozzetti reaffirms her position as a sincere and original artist, the owner of a beautiful voice and developer of a personal artistic conception devoid of commercial abuse. ~ Alvaro Neder
