An
unbelievably fantastic album, and perhaps the greatest one that Dom
Um Romão ever did. Dom recorded this one in America with a blend of
Brazilian and New York musicians - creating an incredible sound
that's unlike anything else one can think of. Includes the spare
spacey groover "Dom's Tune", the lively dancer "Cinnamon
Flower", the jazzy "Family Talk", a great version of
"Ponteio", and a take on Sivuca's "Adeus Maria Fulô"
with João Donato on electric harpsichord. ~ @

This
LP was probably one of my first introductions to Brazilian music when
I bought it in the early 80s after hearing Braun Blek Blu - it
completely blew me away. I couldn't believe this could be the work of
just one man, his drum kit, a cow bell and vocals!!! And what an LP
to get-a storming version of Ponteio and each track a killer in its
own right. But of course - it also features the great João Donato!
