There’s no English analog for the Portuguese word saudade, which
translates roughly to a melancholic longing for someone or something
from the past. The term so aptly fits Thievery Corporation’s oeuvre
(always wistful and dreamy) that it’s a wonder this is the first time
the D.C. duo have employed it as an album title. Looking to the sounds
of Brazil–bossa nova, samba, tropicalia–for their seventh long-player,
longtime musical partners Rob Garza and Eric Hilton deliver a set that
evokes shimmering seascapes and poolside cocktails. It’s the kind of
album James Bond would put on for a romantic evening in Rio.
Saudade‘s expressive acoustic guitars and placid string arrangements
meld sweetly with delicate synths and gentle percussion, as a rotating
cast of five female vocalists coo sensuous melodies. While many of these
songs (“Quem Me Leva,” the title track) are bold adventurers into new
sonic territory, others, such as “Depth of My Soul” and “Firelight,” are
vintage Thievery Corporation with a Brazilian twist: deeply groovy and
endlessly mesmerizing.

No existe un análogo en inglés para la palabra portuguesa saudade, que
se traduce más o menos como un anhelo melancólico por alguien o algo del
pasado. El término encaja tan bien en la obra de Thievery Corporation
(siempre melancólico y soñador) que es una maravilla que esta sea la
primera vez que el dúo de D.C. lo emplea como título de álbum.
Contemplando los sonidos de Brasil -bossa nova, samba, tropicalia- para
su séptimo compañero musical, Rob Garza y Eric Hilton, ofrecen un
conjunto que evoca paisajes marinos resplandecientes y cócteles junto a
la piscina. Es el tipo de álbum que James Bond pondría para una noche
romántica en Río.
Las expresivas guitarras acústicas y los plácidos arreglos de cuerdas de
Saudade se funden dulcemente con sintetizadores delicados y percusión
suave, como un elenco rotativo de cinco vocalistas femeninas que cantan
melodías sensuales. Mientras que muchas de estas canciones ("Quem Me
Leva", la canción del título) son aventureros atrevidos en un nuevo
territorio sonoro, otras, como "Depth of My Soul" y "Firelight", son de
época de Thievery Corporation con un toque brasileño: profundamente
groovy e infinitamente hipnotizante.
