Tamara Canta Roberto Carlos is a tribute to a composer I
don't know by a performer I'd never heard before in a language I don't
speak. And to make matters even more confusing, the iTMS seems to
have a little identity problem, confusing the Tamara who sings Roberto
Carlos with another Tamara who recorded an album called
My
Life, as well as
an
R&B singer named TaMara. Fortunately for me, all I had to do
was consult Google; if I could read the page, this wasn't the droid I
was looking for. (Sorry, I seem to be
channeling Obi-Wan.)
Good thing I have Google to translate from Spanish to something
resembling but not quite English. From which I learned that Tamara is
the twenty year old granddaughter of a famous flamenco singer who
became a Spanish pop sensation at age fifteen, that Carlos is a great
Brazilian romantic composer and that my hovercraft is full of eels.
(Oops, sorry; now I'm doing
Python.)
Anyway, none of that has anything to do with the fact that Tamara has
a wonderful voice and that the songs she performs here take full
advantage. And not understanding a word hardly seems to matter.
