Description
For a very long time, we have been trying to re-issue this record; a true and
complete album masterpiece in every sense of the word, considered by many
people to be one of the greatest ever made, regardless of genre. The original
Continental versions of the album now fetch around $2000.
Originally recorded at Studio Somil, Rio De Janeiro in 1972, the album was
produced, arranged, directed by the self-taught, Arthur Verocai. Previously he had worked on many records in various capacities, with artists including Jorge Ben, Ivan Lins and Celia, this album gave him the chance to do his thing in it's most pure form.
The 29 minute masterpiece, perfect in it's arrangement and fusion of sonics,
epitomises the sound of Brazil at the time; strings, guitars, pianos, break
beats, basslines, synthesizers, vocals from the wonderful Celia and percussion from Pedro Santos. Bossa nova, samba, jazz, MPB, psychedelics and funk sit side by side effortlessly.
The album transcends the genre of Brazilian music, and infact all genres.
Highlighted in part by the number of artists that have sampled from it; MF
Doom, Ludacris & Common, Little Brother, Jneiro Jarel aka Dr Who Dat?, Dibiase and Action Bronson amongst others.
