by David Rumpler While falling short of his best efforts, there's quite a bit to recommend this film soundtrack, which includes the participation of Maria Bethania (in particularly fine form) and the intimate voice of Nara Leao . Skip the ponderous orchestral interludes and go directly to Buarque's "Quando O Carnaval Chegar," "Caçada," and "Mambembe," Bethania 's performance on Buarque's "Bom Conselho," and the charming renditions of songs by 1920s and '30s composers Assis Valente and Lamartine Babo .
