Azymuth bassist Alex Malheiros doesn't remember recording this single - It's understandable--the sessions happened over forty years ago, and at the time, Malheiros, Ivan Conti and Jose Roberto Bertrami were backing countless MPB artists throughout the genre's golden age - As one of Brazil's most influential groups, Azymuth's story is well known - Vocalist Luisa, however, remains something of an enigma - She recorded this, her one and only single, in 1981 for Carlos Lemos' Piramide Label.

With Luisa's powerful yet understated vocal, Bertrami's futuristic synths and Jose Carlos Bigorna's brow-raising tenor sax licks, the stirring early-80s pop ballad "Romantica" should have been a radio hit. On B-side, "Lenha na Fogueira", Azymuth lock into an exceptional samba-funk groove with legendary guitarist Paulinho Guitarra. The record also features backing vocals from the lesser-known vocal group Arco Iris.

Luisa will be reissued for the first time on 7" vinyl and digital on September 5th, 2025, via Far Out Recordings.
