This is what Alberto, Írio and I had in mind when we made this new album”. Some important compliments are already being collected. “I was deeply impressed by the musical quality of this album. The high technical level did not hide the sensibility and beauty of the compositions that, along with the arrangements, are extremely refined” defined Mr. Dori Caymmi, one of the most important Brazilian musicians.
