Album Notes & Community Reviews

Further solidifying his reputation as one of Brazil's finest lyricists, the mustachioed troubadour delivered an incredibly literate, socially observant folk-rock record. The production smooths out the harsher edges of his early work, framing his existential poetry and Dylan-esque vocal delivery with lush, melodic soft rock arrangements. It is celebrated as a deeply intelligent, mature classic of late-70s Brazilian popular music.
