(5 out of 5 stars)
"Nice again to have this reissued, 2nd time on CD!
The incredible composer/musician Eduardo Lobíssimo em parceiro com *O Bruxo* , Hermetão Pascoal , this is one of those recordings that is called "Necessary item" for any entusiast of Brasilian musics!
This recording features Edu at his most primal, and true to his nordestino origins, and no other producer but Hermeto for this legendary session. Many Edu Lobo recordings are lush with orchestration, and complex arrangements, here Edulobiana dictates more "earthy" and "organic" sounds, as the cliché terms are usually not my choice, they fit to describe this time, sorry!
The famous compositions "Casa Forte" and "Zanzibar" are centerpiece, these songs have been covered so many times by other artistas in loving tribute, both in Brasil and around the world.(The great USA funk/soul group Earth, Wind and Fire even made cover of "Zanzibar" on the "Keep Your Head to the Sky" recording! )
Too many words would spoil the surprise once you listen to the sounds! Hermeto stamps this recording with his usual genius, assisting his musical soul and good humor to every pore of this recording (the "organic " theme continues, HAHA!).
1 million stars, brigadão mestres!
