An album released in 1981 by Brazilian singer-pianist Tania Maria, who has been at the forefront of the music scene since the early 1960s and is known for classics like "Come with Me" (1983), a club favorite. Featuring Willie T. Colon (percussion), Eddie Duran (guitar), Rob Fisher (bass), and Vincent Lateano (drums, percussion), this album showcases Maria’s exceptional voicing techniques and masterful piano playing within a rich Brazilian jazz groove. Highlights include A1, one of her signature tracks, which unfolds with a lively and intricate rhythm; B1, where her magical scat singing takes center stage; and B3, a brilliant cover of an Ivan Lins classic. An outstanding album, truly a must-have.

A1: Yatra-Ta
