Jungle is a studio album by Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto, released in February 2002 by Magya Productions. It was her last album before her 2023 death. Overview The album was recorded in Philadelphia in the summer of 2001. The producer of the entire album and the author of most of the songs on the album was the singer herself, with the exception of "Como Fué", authored by Ernesto Duarte, as well as the final "The Look of Love", which was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The album was released on the independent label Magya Productions in 2002 in the United States, the peculiarity of the album was that it was sold only on the official website of the singer. The following year, the Japanese company Columbia Music Entertainment initiated the release of the album in Japan. Critical reception Alex Henderson in his review for AllMusic noted that with this album the singer demonstrates that she can still be a charming, expressive vocalist, he also noted the variety of original compositions: from sensual ballads ("Dancing") to playful ("Pink House") and dancing ("É Só Me Pedir"). Summing up, he stated that the new material is a long-awaited addition to the singer's catalog.

Notable quotes

“I am Tarzan, King of the Apes, mighty hunter, mighty fighter. In all the jungle there is none so great.”
— Edgar Rice Burroughs, in Tarzan of the Apes (1912), Ch. 12 : Man's Reason
“He thought of the jungle, already regrowing around him to cover the scars they had created. He thought of the tiger, killing to eat. Was that evil? And ants? They killed. No, the jungle wasn't evil. It was indifferent. So, too, was the world.”
— Karl Marlantes, in Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War, Ch. 19 (2010)
“It may be that to eat and be eaten are the same thing in the end. My wisdom tells me that this is probably so. We are all made of the same stuff, remember, we of the Jungle, you of the City. The same substance composes us — the tree overhead, the stone beneath us, the bird, the beast, the star — we are all one, all moving to the same end. Remember that when you no longer remember me, my child.”
— P. L. Travers, in Mary Poppins (1934), Hamadryad, the King Cobra, in Ch. 10 "Full-Moon"
