"Sem Destino" (Easy Rider) the new Luiz Tatit's album

Luiz Tatit, composer, performer and guitarist, one of the masterminds of the São Paulo inventive group Inventive "Rumo", graduate in 1974 and became a renowned artist since Rumo's first album in the beginning of the 80''s, revolutionized Brazilian popular music scene with the "spoken song."

At the end of the project with the group "Rumo," Luiz Tatit went on to launch by the independent label Dabliú, his own albums, bringing together the songs that give continuity to that project. Four albuns have already been released: Felicidade (1997), O Meio (2000), Ouvidos Uni-vos (2005) e Rodopio (2007), this one CD/DVD. During this period, several of his songs were recorded by other performers, such as, Ná Ozzetti, Zélia Duncan, Ney Matogrosso, Leila Pinheiro, Vânia Bastos, Daúde and Jussara Silveira, among others.

Now, Luiz Tatit has just released his new CD, 'Easy Rider", also by Dabliú label, with thirteen new songs, seven of them signed by him and the others with partners. (Alice Ruiz, Itamar Assumpção, Marcelo Jeneci, Dante Ozzetti, Jonas and Tatit Capiba).

Tatit devotes his unique style. The lyrics, as always, bring a special flavor, this time on dealing with our relationship with the unpredictable and predestination. In the first case, the album features songs like "Easy Rider", whose character is helpless from his own destiny, "Why us?" (Partnership with Marcelo Jeneci) on unpredictable legacy of each generation, or "Who Knows" ( partnership with Itamar Assumpção), a maximum variation of Socratic "I just know that I know nothing." When it comes to predestination, there are tracks like "When the song is over," about the rumored end of the era song, "The Return of the Thrush", which, in contrast to the famous "Song of the Exile", demands the return of the robin itself, or "Nando and Nanda (partnership with Dante Ozzetti), which announces the fatal and obvious encounter of the two characters.

Ná Ozzetti leaves its mark on the interpretation of "Remembering Nazareth", a piano piece by the pernambucano Capiba Pernambuco (1904-1997) which has received lyrics only now by Tatit,, and the delightful "In Favor" which recounts the experience of someone who was literally living in the heart (muscle pulsing) of the beloved. There is also the participation of singer Juçara Marçal in the song "Who Liked Me" (partnership with Jonas Tatit).

Easy Rider featured the production of Alexander Fontanetti and musical direction and arrangements of guitar by Jonas Tatit. Other musicians were also critical for the good sound of the album:
Sergio Reze and Adriano Busko on percussion
Serginho Carvalho - bass
Marcelo Jeneci - accordion and the electronic programming
Marina Pittier - vocals
Fabio Tagliaferri - viola and arrangements strings.
