"This fresh album, responds to the hip-swaying call with charm, sensuousness and frivolity. In all twelve tracks, the band members each share their diverse cultural influences that range from American composer and guitarist (Anthony Lanni), to Japanese percussion and vocals (Arei Sekiguchi and Chieko Honda), to Brazilian drummer (Uka Gameiro)...This is a pattern that recurs in numerous tracks and is a welcomed feature that gives Os Clavelitos its originality and youthfulness."

"Arriving is a pleasant collection of Latin ballads featuring vocalist Chieko Honda, Anthony Lanni (g), Dan Kendall (b, vocals), Livio Almeida (fl), Uka Gameiro (d), Arei Sekiguchi (congas)...There are all original tunes composed by Lanni, Kendall and Honda. The music is festive, inoffensive and easy going making for a good effort."

"shimmering debut release * Os Clavelitos - ARRIVING: A most fitting title for this shimmering debut release from this six-piece ensemble based in NYC...all-original compositions with the music of Brazil forming the basis for their high-energy tuneage! If you're not inspired (& maybe dancing) as you listen to the oddly-titled "Tom Cruise Samba", then you already have one foot (or maybe both of them) in the grave, lol...I give this high-energy group a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.97"

"Arriving by Os Clavelitos, in the samba/jazz category is another recommendation for 2016's best of releases of the year. This collection has been getting airplay throughout the US and abroad. It is a collection of original compositions sung in English which have all the lovely ingredients of bossa nova and samba. It has the beats, the harmonic nuances, and the winding melodies that take you over the hills and into valleys that make Brazilian music so interesting."

"...the result is an uplifting and energetic listen laced with Latin rhythms and an angelic vocal atop. The tunes are driven by an underpinning of complex uses of rhythm, created by drum and hand percussion all the while keeping the tunes highly danceable and accessible in its deceivingly complex accession. Guitar and bass express a sensual harmonic frame that is best expressed in South American stylings. Heading up the lyric is Chieko Honda, a vocalist with angelic vocal qualities and the ability to convey poignant storytelling, in her delivery. Her voice is a creative vehicle of emotional precision that melds the group sound to its perfection. Life a fine slice of Rabanada."

"Soft Brazilian jazz tinged music is what OS CLAVELITOS servers up on ARRIVING. This offers up a few Getz-like licks on 12 originals but that's not what is notable about this effort. What is notable is the relaxing Brazilian sound and the lyrics sung by Chieko Honda. The music and lyrics are provided by different band members and are quite interesting and it's additionally interesting to dwell on them as an 8 page lyric print-out comes with the CD. Its smoothness held up well to repeats."

"The lithe percussion with breezy guitar and Almeida's tenor provide sensuous sounds and undercurrents for Honda's English vocals on material such as "Eunice" and "Sands of Memories." Almeida's use of the flute adds extra texture on the bluesy "Frost" and swaying "Profondo Blue" while he gets a bit exuberant on the tenor during the poppish "Oblivion." Honda's voice is warm and optimistic throughout, while the rhythm team bounces with delight as on "Unrest of Mind." Samba fans will have a modern friend here."

Os Clavelitos's music is about coming together to share Latin and American cultures, conjuring an enchanting vista of sounds that brings to mind leisurely feasts and waltzing walks in the forest."
