Review by Ricardo Magaña

The album Casa De Bituca The Music Of Milton Nascimento by Hamilton de Holanda Quinteto is a beautiful tribute to the legendary Brazilian singer-songwriter Milton Nascimento. The album features 12 tracks that showcase the quintet's incredible musicianship and their deep understanding of Nascimento's music.

The album opens with the title track, "Casa De Bituca," a lively and upbeat track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The quintet's interpretation of Nascimento's classic songs is both respectful and innovative, adding their own unique flair to each track. The album features several guest vocalists, including Maria Rita, who joins the quintet on the hauntingly beautiful "Paula e Bebeto."

Throughout the album, Hamilton de Holanda's virtuosic mandolin playing takes center stage, weaving intricate melodies that perfectly complement the other instruments. The rhythm section, comprised of bassist André Vasconcellos and drummer Thiago da Serrinha, provides a solid foundation for the music, while pianist Daniel Santiago and guitarist Gabriel Grossi add their own distinctive voices to the mix.
