Simone, one of the most important female singers of the second generation of Brazilian MPB, released in 1977. A5 features Simone's lilting vocals against a slow, jazzy rhythm and flowing flute and piano. B3 features a wet touch guitar reminiscent of Gabor Szabo and cosmic synthesizer sounds, and Simone's lyrical vocals are a great contrast. The whole album is highly recommended. The original Brazilian pressing with a special gatefold sleeve.
A5 : Ceu de Brasilia
B3 : Valsa Rancho
