***Another great example of Brasilian “psicodelia” from this collective led by FLAVIO LIRA, along with LULA CORTES, PABLO RAPHAEL, ROBERTINHO (RECIFE), and ZE RAMALHO (THE FLUTE). Of the crazy albums from this period, this is one of the rarest jewels. Although it was recorded the same year (1974) as Côrtes and Ramalho’s Paêbiru album, and with most of the same musicians, this is mainly an acoustic album, rife with poetic language and regional instruments, but also demonstrating the abundant energy of people involved in making something fresh and new. A brilliant album, full of strange moments (cellophane crinkled into the microphone as percussion), some deft acoustic guitar, and some of the prettiest songs this side of Vashti Bunyan. Notes are more or less in English, and hefty booklet includes lyrics too.
