Anna Luna: "Urubú" (self-release) 2018
Rating: ***** (musical performance & sonic quality)
After some great more orthodox jazz albums, Spain's best singer delivers a surprising and awesome project that fuses jazz, flamenco and Brazilian music. She's also an excellent composer ("Un Cuento," "Vivo, Siento," "Déjame,"), but excels also on Brazilian tunes by Antonio Carlos Jobim ("Chovendo Na Roseira" with Spanish lyrics by Luna herself), Djavan ("Nobreza," "Nem Um Dia") and João Bosco ("Água Mãe Água") and in a haunting rendition of "Afonsina Y El Mar," made famous by Mercedes Sosa.
