"It is a joy to hear this from a job as Lili Araujo, remains a

legitimate one from a family of singers-songwriters, including, in previous generations, as well as myself, clever girls like Fatima Guedes and Rosa Passos.

    Earlier, we had to open our ways with race, a hip and courage. There were few, we are more, which only proves that it was worth.

   And this CD demonstrates, there is an owner of his own voice musical ideas with their own musical thinking and designing well-defined. No more need to make a stand for the genre, finally.

    I like to hear Lili too. Good songs to listen to. Beautiful voice, ripe and ready to enjoy the songs, knowingly. The impression left by the end of a first hearing, is that she knows exactly what to do - and does. 

Welcome to the club, Lili. A kiss and good luck! "
