The enigma of Rita Calypso was partially resolved with Apocalypso, a 5 stars release with shining examples of classic sounds, English easy beats, bossa nova, bird calls, pop vibes, seaside Rhodes, exquisite string section, bass, percussion and the best vocals of the century. Released in Japan, Korea, Philippines and Taiwan and her songs got appearance in TV ads, cartoons, jingles and commercials. Ana Laan (the nice lady behind the R.C. mask) has been cited as one of the best contemporary singers. Sicalyptico, her second album, to date and it is comprehensibly a timeless classic from start to finish. Nothing revolutionary for her but, this record incorporates a delicate sexy perspiration (Sicaliptico is synonymous with erotic in Spanish). None of the 14 tracks are disappointing, there is some ultra-catchy international jet setting and bubblegum flair emulating The Bugaloos on “Believe”, wind chiming summery echoes on “Barefoot In The Park” (N. Hefti), stream acoustic delicacies as “Wailing Of The Willow” or “If” a la Astrud Gilberto, some jazzman's boulevard outing i.e. “On The Trail”, chiffon scarf fluttering in the breeze behind her voice in “Good To Be Around” or “ Lady (With The Tangerine Blouse)” and of course passionate moments on •Bacalov’s “The Key Witness”. And of course we added two songs by our demigods Paul Williams and Roger Nichols “The Drifter” and “It’s Hard To Say Goodbye”. Despite the title that suggests spooky and dark sounds, we find that her music is very pop, bright, happy, funny even at times. Rita delivers breathy and utterly charming vocals as if she were seducing you. It is plausible to imagine that her as a mermaid, out of water, now in human form, female perfection. Rita Calypso is a goddess of the female vocals in sophisticated environments and her partners in crime, Ramón Leal and Mateo Guiscafré are her equal. After her participation in the trilogy Sol y sombra, Educacion y descanso and Información y Turismo it was only a question of time and public request that the inhouse producers would device a well-arranged record with a tasteful selection of orchestral songs, crystal clear strings and trumpets. The result is a pop treasure of 13 stunning tracks and a very nice production that puts Leal & Guiscafré next to Tommy LiPuma, Eumir Deodato, Albert Gorgoni, Augusto Algueró or Charles Fox. Siesta has a knack for fashioning simple, yet perfectly formed pop records. The albums are executed perfectly and the imagination never stops. Iot is also plausible to imagine Rita singing while strolling through a meadow of sunflowers, breezes gently blowing her hair... Finally: Do not mistake our Rita for the homonymous German transvestite. Our Rita is very feminine and not a drag artist!! If you love those eternal records Rita is your ticket to paradise.
