In this real tour de force of Brazilian creativity, Naná is joined by his friends Nelson Angelo and Novelli –both members of the seminal Clube da Esquina– to create one of the greatest Brazilian albums ever recorded outside of Brazil.
The three musicians grasp here for the kind of musical freedom that could then only be achieved outside of their country. A boundary-pushing experimentation that makes your soul flow and is to be enjoyed at large.
Also drawing elements from psychedelia and other contemporary currents of the time, the music somehow reminds of the timeless, revolutionary music of Milton Nascimento.
Recorded in 1975 and released in Pierre Barouh’s label Saravah. Artwork by the great Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon.
Comes with info booklet with liner notes by Brazilian journalist Zé Teles.
