Cantiga de Longe

by Edu Lobo

Cantiga de Longe cover art

Marking a progression beyond the Tropicália and bossa nova movements, Edu Lobo’s 'Cantiga de Longe' presented a sophisticated new direction for Brazilian popular music. The album fuses jazz and pop sensibilities with Afro-Brazilian and indigenous folk styles, creating a sound that is both organic and complex. Lobo’s intricate guitar work and smooth vocals are elevated by the inventive, forward-thinking arrangements and instrumental performances of collaborators like Hermeto Pascoal and Airto Moreira.
