I originally bought this on vinyl years ago for Palco. Over the years i've come to appreciate the whole album, its just brilliant.

Sounds like a cliche, but is not when it comes to Gilberto Gil; and this is just another example of this concept;

First of all; the tracks (not included here in this Amazon page):

1) Luar

2) Palco

3) Sonho Molhado

4) Lente Do Amor

5) Morena

6) Cara a Cara

7) Cores Vivas

8) Axe Baba

9) Flora

10) Se Eu Quiser Falar com Deus

Bonus Tracks

11) Marcha de Tietagem

12) Coracoes a Mil

Second, the re-masterizing of this album originally released back on 1981 is outstanding; people always comment that japanese remasters are better, but this CD I have in my hands imported from Brasil is extremely sharp and is as good as it gets.

And as customery; check the fantastic group of people that worked with Gilberto on this recording:

- Gilberto Gil / Vocals, Ovation Acoustic Guitar

- Lincoln Olivetti / Fender Rhodes, Oberheim, Yamaha Piano, Mini Moog

- Leo Gandelman, Ze Carlos & Oberdan / Sax Family & Flutes

- Ricardo Silveira / Guitars

- Jamil Joanes / Bass

- Robson Jorge / Piano & Keyboards

- Jane Duboc & Claudia Telles / Background Vocals

- Liminha / 12-string Guitars

- Raul de Souza / Trombone

- Marcio Montarroyos / Flugelhorn

- Jaques Morelenbaum / Cello

and many more.........

If you love Gilberto Gil like many millions out there, and are forming his collection; this is a true cornerstone on Gil's career and a must-have.
