The only solo album by Brazilian guitarist Fernando Pacheco, a former member of the 1970s progressive rock band Recordando o Vale Das Macas, privately released in 1986. Created with support from fellow Recordando o Vale Das Macas members including Fernando Motta (g), Eliseu Filho (keys), and Lourenco Gotti (ds), the album incorporates electric guitar and guitar synthesizer alongside acoustic instruments such as flute, viola, and violin, as well as synthesizers. A hidden gem of lyrical, folk-tinged progressive rock, it unfolds throughout with a striking melodic sensibility filled with a uniquely nostalgic atmosphere. It may sound a little rustic at first, but the more you listen, the more mysteriously captivating its world becomes. There is also a certain atmosphere reminiscent of Egberto Gismonti’s mid-1980s works.
