DJAVAN — LATIN GRAMMY WINNER, SINGER, COMPOSER, POET—

"Brazilian superstar Djavan...a rare opportunity to experience the
rich catalog of a major Brazilian artist." -- Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times

The New York Times claims he is "an artist who has fused many of the dominant styles onto a personal music [that is] brilliant and comprehensive."




"with a soothing but vulnerable voice, he is willing to split the difference between Brazilian pop and the American pop-funk that has lifted some of its best effects from such Brazilian masters as Milton Nascimento, Jorge Ben, Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, all Djavan's elders." --
JON PARELES, N.Y. Times

evening, clearly as enjoyable to him as it was to his enraptured listeners."
- Don Heckman, LA Times
