Sonho Real (2016)

"She is innocent and wise, a nomad and a poet, an alchemist of styles whose music is more colorful than the sum of its parts. On Sonho Real (Dream Come True), her third album, she mixes elements of forró, ska, reggae and dub, spins stream-of-consciousness images into stories and plows the untranslatable Portuguese saudade (melancholy, yearning, suspended between happy and sad) into good vibrations. Her voice turns womanly/mature as she describes the people and props of Na Favela (In the Slum)—including a fortune-teller, unpaid debts and a husband who spends too much time drinking with his buddies. The irrepressible Flavia Coelho became the world traveling musician she dreamed of; she not only looked at life and refused to take “no” for an answer, she also generously shares her formula."
