Tom%20Ze%20Best.jpgTom%20ze%20Nave.jpgI put these two albums up for my favourite song, "Nave Maria", which appears on both albums in different versions. The Best Of focuses on more folk-oriented Ze songs and offers a slightly stripped-down version of "Nave Maria", while the album "Nave Maria" has the original version with '80s-era effects mixed in. Nave Maria is a fun album that jumps all over the place, with some energetic and often outrageous Brazilian tunes. The song in question is a very compelling track with percussive soprano harmonies in the chorus and a pretty danceable beat. It drives and accelerates through some pretty interesting guitar sounds, like you're climbing up a volcano that's erupting with diamond lava.
