From Água de Moringa to Zé Renato - Some of what I've listened to in 2002

It appears that the recording industry in Brazil changed gears in 2002.  Besides the obvious new releases, and as a replacement to the deluge of live recordings in previous years,  recording labels opted for reissuing a number of great titles, some of which appearing on CD for the first time last year.  From the albums I was able to get a hold of and listen to, here are my favorites of 2002. The problem with these types of lists is that a lot of good titles do not make the final count. So, keep in mind this is not meant to be comprehensive.
