About This Album
This is a reissue of Djavan's first recorded LP. In 1975, he received a second-place award at TV Globo's Festival Abertura for his song "Fato Consumado." The following year he recorded this album, which contained one of his biggest hits, "Flor de Lis," along with his previous award-winning song. The highlights are the wonderful melodies, the musical sonority of his lyrics (it doesn't even matter if you understand them, as his focus is on their musicality), the smart violão of Djavan, and the rich rhythmic interplay between voice and violão. All of the compositions are great, exploring styles from samba to baião, and more importantly, the album is mostly an acoustic effort, with cool touches of a Rhodes. It may appeal to those who have a hard time swallowing the massive electronics of his later albums. ~ Alvaro Neder, All Music Guide
