"The extraordinary new recording by Beatriz Azevedo, “Alegria”, has it all -high literary erudition, carnavalesque exuberance, absurdist humor, and audacious experimentalism- the hallmarks of antropofagia. Beatriz further explores the Brazil-U.S. connection in a version of “Ain’t nobody’s business if I do” made famous by Billie Holiday in the 1940s. I think it’s one of the best (and funniest) adaptations of an American classic ever recorded." CHRISTOPHER DUNN , Comisario de "Tropicália, a revolution in Brazilian culture", exhibida en el Barbican (Londres, Reino Unido) y consejero del Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago, USA).
"Alegria is a fascinating piece of work in terms of inventiveness, grace, delicacy, vigor and courage. Beatriz Azevedo has a style all her own and a manner of merging music and literature that doesn’t prefer one or the other. Her discoveries are impressive, especially for the impact they create in today’s one-dimensional scene. Using elements from Tropicalia in a contemporary way, the album impresses and captivates the listener from the first note." FELIPE TADEU, en el programa Jazzthetik., de la emisora Deutsche Welle-World, Alemania.
"Anthropophage, fidéle aux principes tropicalistes, sa musique phagocyte rythmes traditionnels, touches contemporaines et poésie. Grâce à une remarquable inventivité poétique et musicale, Beatriz Azevedo est l'artiste brésilienne à suivre." SANDRINE TEIXIDO, en la revista Vibrations, Francia.
