Review by Rodrigo_Amaro

Always passionate, an eternal helpless romantic and enthusiastic about life and music, Tim Maia was one of the greatest songwriters/musicians of all time and one soul that we'll always miss ever since his sudden death in 1998. I still have vivid memories of that day, specially the images of his final concert when he was starting to feel ill to the point he couldn't finish his performance and that was the first song of the evening. And my appreciation of his talents only grew over the years. Most recently I discovered this small forgotten gem that presents small fragments of the man, the artist and his views on music and the world in general. It was amazingly brilliantly though it may look disjointed and quite random to the usual viewer out there.

Maia was hilarious all the way while sharing his thoughts about music (for those who don't know him his range goes from funk, R&B and soul to power ballads, countless romantic songs and covers from other artists), the importance it has in his life and also some unusual internal views from the world around him - like he mentions that he believes in little creatures that live under our feet (it was a huge funny moment that I couldn't stop laughing not just because of the thought but the humored in which he tells his "story"). And there's also moments where he talks about the loves of his life.

Not sure exactly this was made but I liked it. The only possible reasoning for it was because he was about to release a new album and here we get some glimpses of Maia rehearsing the then upcoming single "Telefone" which was a minor hit - don't know the name of the album. Here we have an intimate view of the man while presenting his house or driving his car around Rio's beautiful landscape beautifully photographed by the camera. It's a very artistic presentation about one of the greatest Brazilian arists who ever lived. His fans will love this and they definitely need to know about it with urgency since they're missing out a lot of stuff about him. 9/10.
