A post-Tropicalia masterpiece from one of the movement's key figures and true legends of Brazilian music, Gal Costa. Features a stellar lineup of musicians including Gilberto Gil, Arthur Verocai, Dominguinhos, Rogerio Duprat, and Tenorio Jr. amongst others.
Including the cover that was banned by the Brazilian military government in 1973 during the brutal dictatorship. India includes the incredible "Pontos De Luz" as sampled by Kaytranada on Lite Spots and one of our favorite Brazilian songs of all time.
A wonderful album from start to finish, touching on MPB, folk, jazz, funk, and rock with strong Tropicalia and Nordestino influences throughout. For its 50th anniversary, we knew we had to do something special, so we enlisted the sensational mastering and lacquer-cutting engineer Miles Showell from Abbey Road to cut a half-speed master for a beautiful spacious sound.
