Lilás cover art

Recorded in Los Angeles, this slick, highly polished album perfectly synthesizes traditional Brazilian rhythms with contemporary American funk and R&B production. The use of modern synthesizers and sophisticated pop arrangements propelled the title track into a massive hit across Brazil. It highlights Djavan's remarkable ability to internationalize MPB without sacrificing his complex melodic sensibilities.
