| Editorial Reviews:
Depending on your perspective, Woman On Top is either a paean to Brazil or to Spain's Penelope Cruz. Venezuelan director Fina Torres reportedly spent two years researching Brazilian music for the movie soundtrack, but her search seems to have kept bringing her back to bossa nova and its descendants. In other words, the music tends to be of the quiet, softly swinging variety. No Brazilian rock, rap, or reggae here; not even Bahian axi or carnival samba. What the disc does, it does well, though. Instead of rounding up the usual bossa suspects, Torres leaned heavily on the relatively unknown Paulinho Moska, who tackles several Brazilian chestnuts adequately, if failing to achieve the almost-impossible goal of making them his own. The remaining lineup is pretty eclectic: Baden Powell, Dori Caymmi, Lenine, Geraldo Azevedo. Still, the selected tracks don't stray too far from each other stylistically, focusing mostly on voice and acoustic guitar. This would make a fine introduction to a particular and prominent strain of Brazilian music, even if it doesn't embrace the country's entire range of diverse artists. -Marty Lipp

The sound track to 'Women on top' is a the perfect compliment to this enchanting film about food, love and true romance. The music brings the world of Brazil alive with the sound of oceans, pulsating rhythms of sexual dance music and soothing moonlit ballads.
