Great Arrangements
The repertoire here, produced by Mazola, is excellent, including songs by João Bosco, Chico Buarque, Sueli Costa, Ivan Lins and the super sensual return with Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos’s “Eu Preciso de Você.” Simone displays her exuberance in sambas full of life and ballads filled with love. Cristóvão Bastos’s, Cesar Camargo Mariano’s, Eduardo Souto Neto’s, and Maurizio Fabrizio’s arrangements are impressive. Rildo Hora and Rafael Rabello add to the great musicians appearing in this album. It also features the percussion section of the samba schools of Portela and Beija-Flor.
The album had a different cover in Brazil.
