“I really like the way Adriana sings, so free of clichés. I also love the arrangements and the musicians that participated. The musical climate that she so carefully sought out was more than achieved. I believe the real spirit of the Bossa Nova is alive in the repertoire that she selected and in her way of interpreting it" Agustín Pereyra Lucena |
A Night of Brazilian Warmth César Pradines, La Nación “Adriana Rios knows about the art of Brazilian Popular Music”. “Rios showed a clear ability to move through different musical languages and constantly changing climates. Her versions of “Corcovado”. “Agua de Beber”, “Só Danço Samba” and a powerful “Amanda no Frevo”, written by Rios, were some of the best moments of the evening. High vocal register and a competent use of her voice, showed this singer to have leadership qualities and a strong stage presence.” |
| Simply Bossa La Voz del Interior On line …Bossa Nova specifically demands of the singer a quota of musicality, sensuality and moderation that not all achieve. Nonetheless, singer Adriana Rios, owner of a marvellously perfect pitch for this genre, knows these codes to spare. And she shows it in this Simply Bossa…There are also songs written by the singer herself (Amanda no Frevo, Tell Me When and Casual Affair, the last two in collaboration with Guillermo Reuter and Agustin Pereyra Lucena). Musicians like Leandro Braga, Joao Lyra, Alejandro Santos, Zé Nogueira and Roberto Menescal participate in the CD. An impeccable work. |
