I first heard Marisa's voice on Red, Hot, & Rio ( a tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim) on a duet with David Byrne. I fell in love with the sensuality of her voice. A Great Noise is a brilliant CD. One of my all time favourites. I can listen to this at any time and it never disappoints or gets boring. The fact that I don't speak a word of Portugese does not affect my ability to enjoy this CD.
