Rio De Janeiro Blue Rio De Janeiro Blue
On Rio De Janeiro Blue Freddy Cole proves a marvellous singer, combining consummate ease ... more
with a lyric and acute sense of melodic and
rhythmic phrasing. Whether it's the lost love of
the title song or the reliable romance of Cole
Porter's "I Concentrate on You", Cole's warm
baritone creates the impression that everything he
sings has been made up on the spot, as if every
lyric is the current sum of his thoughts and
experiences. That conversational art is much in
evidence in this mix of Brazilian and jazz tunes,
extending to the way Cole interacts with his
sidemen and they with him. There are two basic
groups here, an all-star Latin septet with
arrangements by pianist Arturo O'Farrill and
Cole's own working quartet, but there are also
several permutations in between. O'Farrill's work
is tailor-made for Cole's throaty voice, mixing it
with contrasting flute and guitar and
complementary trombone timbres, the latter
provided by Angel "Papa" Vazquez, just one of
several superb soloists. Tenor saxophonist Eric
Alexander adds inventive, hard-swinging tenor to
"I Concentrate"; Joe Beck's guitars define the
delicacy of Jobim's "Sem Voce", sung here in the
original Portuguese; and O'Farrill's piano is a
dancing delight whenever it comes to the fore.
Cole's own spare piano is almost as effective as
his voice, a compellingly understated force on
"Wild is Love" and "There, I've Said It Again".

Review of Rio de Janeiro by Nazuku

Advantages: Rio
Disadvantages: Violence

Rio de Janeiro "River of January" is the second major city of Brazil, behind only São Paulo. Its 8 million inhabitants occupy an area of 485 square miles. There are three main city districts: Centre, South, and North. The city centre is the financial and business district of Rio. After the transfer of the capital to Brasília, in 1960, the process of economic transfer to São Paulo was increased. The summer months officially begin around November and ... Read review

The Real Rio de Janeiro
Review of Rio de Janeiro by jala

Advantages: Beaches, gorgeous tropical islands, unbelievably great value.
Disadvantages: Having to keep your wits about you, but no real problem.

They call the city of Rio de Janeiro "Cidade Maravilhosa" (The marvellous city), I have to say that visiting Rio was an eye opening and awe inspiring experience. This review is a selection of the best parts, with a few pointers on what not to do there. SAFETY TIPS ------------------ **Hotels First of all, it is recommended that tourists stay in a Hotel that is on the coastal road of Copacabana beach - Avenida Atlantico, or one of the coastal ...
...and pick-pocketing is rife in Rio so it is best to be very aware of your surroundings. The whole time I was there, especially when walking around, I kept all money concealed in a money pouch under my clothes. Simply putting your wallet or purse in your pocket is not enough, you are only inviting trouble. It is also strongly recommended not to carry more cash than you need. It is advisable that you leave your credit/debit cards in your hotel, in your ... Read review

Blame it on Rio
Review of Rio de Janeiro by indiecater

Advantages: Spectacular, exciting and perfect for budget travellers.
Disadvantages: Is that a knife in your pocket or are you just trying to rob me?

Rio De Janeiro ranks amongst the most exotic cities in the world. It's nature attractions are world famous and its people legendary for their party tendencies. Despite being a budget friendly city it also has appeal for those on a 5 star expense account. Like most Brazilian cities it has many problems, its ghettos are to be avoided and the city's gun culture gets worse by the day. Rio has a population of 7 million but you might be surprised to know ...
...Of course many arrive in Rio on a package deal so this is not a problem. For others who arrive at the Novo Rio bus station in the Zona Norte without a clue taking taxi is the only reliable option. You can buy fixed priced taxi tokens in the station which is a good idea as overpricing is almost a hobby amongst Rio's taxi fraternity. The cheapest areas to stay in Rio are just south of the city centre in Catete, Gloria and Lapa although the latter is ... Read review

Carioca, beaches, and lovelies
Review of Rio de Janeiro by digitalshare

Advantages: Beautiful city; lots to see and do; the beaches
Disadvantages: Vendors

...tourists tend to think of Rio de Janeiro as the embodiment of Brazil, a land with so much wealth and poverty, a land of huge contrasts. Are you ready to let down your sensibilities on this journey? If you are still readin along, then you may be ready to stroll along the world famous beaches of Rio with me. Your eyes will find the most interesting attractions, not only in the city, but also in the people themselves. Most people will tell you that ...
...Beaches and carnival times in Rio de Janeiro Most tourists tend to go to Brazil for the end-of-the-year holiday season. In fact, most Brazilians tend to return to the homeland at that time too. They can't stay away from the rich cultural festivities that go on and on. The carnival season is also the time to see how good natured Brazilians can be. If you can have a good time, then you can join their crowd. Writing or talking about Brazil brings to ... Read review

City of Terror
Review of Rio de Janeiro by petehall

Advantages: Some beatiful sights
Disadvantages: One of the most violent cities in the world.

...wife and I were in Rio when the Gulf War was raging in Iraq and Kuwait, but the death rate in Rio was far higher than anything inflicted by those two countries put together. The first people we met had been robbed four times and they'd only been there three days. Everyone else we met for the next two and a half weeks had been robbed on their first day. I was very careful but I must also have been lucky. I was with someone who got robbed as we walked ...
...The death rate in Rio (just the one city) due to murder averaged 17 per day all year round at that time, and could be even higher now. Backpackers and hippies seemed to go unhindered and so when we went out we dressed down and tried to look anything but wealthy. When the plane took off for London, virtually everyone on the plane cheered with joy and vowed never to return to Brazil. I would never return without an armed guard, and then only if it ...
