Album Notes & Community Reviews

The breathtaking debut from one of Brazil's most revered modern songwriters, offering an incredibly warm, acoustic-driven interpretation of MPB. Centered largely around his smooth, agile vocal delivery and fluid acoustic guitar playing, the record elegantly fuses traditional samba rhythms with subtle jazz harmonies. Featuring the enduring hit 'Flor de Lis', it immediately established him as a major new force in Brazilian popular music.
