An album released in 1980 by Egberto Gismonti—composer, guitarist, and pianist—who now rightfully stands as one of the true treasures of Brazilian music. It showcases a distinctive musical world where Brazilian music is fused with jazz, classical, and various other influences. This masterpiece highlights Gismonti’s exceptional talent for songwriting and arrangement. While the high-energy Brazilian tracks like A1 and B2 are fan favorites and absolutely brilliant, particular attention should be given to the spiritually rich and organic compositions such as A2 and A3, which were also performed on his ECM recordings from the same period. Highly recommended.
A2 : Cego Aderaldo
A3: Magico
B2 : Equilibrista
B3: Ciranda
