Djavan is one of my favorites, and this is one of his best. From "Pedro Brasil" (about the discoverer of Brasil, Pedro Cabral) to the haunting "Faltando um Pedaço" to "Nvula Leza Kia/Humbiumbi", his African-style duet with Gilberto Gil, this album is a classic, and to me the best period of Djavan's music.

Djavan is a poet and songwriter. His style is a very singular one. Each album has a different approach, and even so, or becuse of it, he is in continuous evolution. This album is one of his best. The listener will note a delicate mix between african, northern brazilian regional and jazzistic approach, which gives to his music a sweet cosmopolitan appeal.

esto es impresionante, es un disco que tiene unos musicos impresionantes, todos jazzeros, el bajista parece Pastorious.
los temas jogral, faltando um pedaco, a ilha............,todos los temas te van a volar la cabeza.
este es uno de los mejores de Djavan. escucha "voz e violao" que es el primero del loco.
que monstruo!

This album was purchased primarily for Pedro Brasil, the first track on the album, which I love. The other songs are collateral benefits. After hearing Djavan's work since this album (Live CD's, others), this album can lose my attention. However, I can appreciate where he was coming from, especially around this time period, when all artists, incl. US artists, were tampering with electronic sound in ways not fully explored. Music, in general, has come a long way since this era, but albums like these remind me of the mix of raw talent, lots of effort, and the willingness to explore new horizons.

Beautiful music. Call up your significant other and have a glass of wine with this one. I just bought Bird of Paradise...I recommend that album as well.
