Press quotes - general

"..Em setembro a Ceumar começa gravar seu quarta disco na Holanda. Será um album solo cheio de cantas próprios. Tudos os instrumentos, violão e percussão, serám jogados só por ela mesmo. Prometará estar um projecto único, porque ela não quer gravar o disco num estúdio estéril, mas em lugares que tem um significado especial para ela. ‘Neste mesa da cozinha por exemplo, ou numa igreja ou fora na natureza. Tem que estar um ambiente que exprimirá a emoção da minha música. Read the whole article>>>. (noticias.nl)

“...Ceumar made Dindinha into a shining album, marking her presence as an honor for the music world. She´s a sophisticated “star” with all qualyties to be a great popular success!” (Mauro Dias – Folha de Sp newspaper)

“Dindinha has a consoling and atemporal atmosphere. With no eletronic effects, this album has resulted in a repertory composed in diverse epochs, giving an impression that will be allways recent” (Kito Ferreira, Estado de Minas newspaper – 25/01/2000)

“Ceumar is an all-place and epoch singer. Using her songs, she represents an ancient world that is inside everybody. Singing, she forces out the “perfect music” that is inside our soul... graces all hearts, dares and idealizes...” (CelsoBorges, O Estado de Minas newspaper)

“Ceumar plays the guitar, composes, makes the arrangements and for the first time commands the musical production.... She doesn´t rhyme with Minas Gerais musicians not even with Milton Nascimento, Skank or Pato Fu. She doesn´t make folk or regionalist songs. Ceumar has originality and incomparable sweetness.” (Mauricio Kubrusly – site Fantastico.com)

“In Sempreviva Ceumar maintains the same sweet voice, and poetry acompanied by the comfort of her acoustic guittar. (Ana Cecilia Martins- Jornal do Brasil newspaper)

“Ceumar´s music has a nostalgic atmosphere, a bit rural, mas doesn´t get cloistered in the regionalism. Refuses pop references, but sounds modern in her pureness, reforced by the ingenuity of some lyrics”. ( Alexandre Agabiti Fernandez - Cult Magazine)

Press comment from the new album 'Meu nome'

“The wonderful live-cd by Ceumar puts her talents in the spotlight: her beautiful, smooth voice and her strong guitar technique. With some duets, but mainly solo pieces, this album has been kept 'small' intentionally. Her full voice embraces you like a warm blanket, comforts you when you are sad, makes you dance and makes you laugh with playful
sounds. Music straight from the heart, performed with care and  /talent .” Saskia Bender, Radio 6, The Netherlands, 2009
