A solo album by Brazil's treasured Egberto Gismonti, released in 1979 on ECM originally. This spiritual work, crafted with a minimal selection of instruments such as acoustic guitar, piano, and singing bowls, reveals the profound depth of Gismonti's artistry. A1 is a more than 20-minute journey into an ultra-deep world, featuring breathtakingly intricate guitar work by Gismonti and Ralph Towner, accompanied by Nana Vasconcelos’s voice and bells. A2, B1, and B3 showcase Gismonti's exceptional talent and technique through mesmerizing piano solos. This is a reissue produced by EMI-Odeon in Brazil in 1985. While the delicate sound quality of the German ECM pressing is commendable, the rustic tone of the Brazilian pressing perfectly complements Gismonti's musical essence.
A1: Selva Amazonica
B1: Frevo
