All Music Guide - Alex Henderson
Entirely instrumental, Echoes of Brazil finds Badi Assad making the acoustic guitar her sole focus and paying tribute to some of Brazil's many heroes of the instrument. This splendid CD may not be the last word on Brazilian guitarists who have played a crucial role in samba, choro, bossa nova, tropicalismo and Brazilian classical, but Assad does a fine job of reminding us what some of them contributed.
