TRACKLISTING 1. Caboclo 2. Pelas Sombras 3. Sylvia 4. Presente Grego 5. Dedicada A Ela 6. Seriado 7. Na Boca Do Sol 8. Velho Parente 9. O Mapa 10. Karina (Domingo No Grajau) Sweet and jazzy pop from early 70s Brazil  a great little album that we'd rank with our favorites by Marcos Valle and Edu Lobo! Arthur Verocai isn't nearly as well-known as those two, but he works in a similar territory  taking jazz, large arrangements, and nice touches of electric funk  and working them into a groove that has the soaring and ambitious feel of the best post-Tropicalia work of 70s Brazil! This rare gem was self-produced, and fell of the map almost as soon as it was released  but it really deserves wider recognition, and shines with a depth that makes it an instant classic to our ears! Titles include "Presente Grego", "Caboclo", "Pelas Sombras", "O Mapa", Sylvia, "Karina", "Velho Parente", and "Dedicada A Ela".
