FROM THE ARTIST
So what do you think about ‘Partiu do Alto’ being re-released?Well you know it was an independent production at a time when that was a hard thing to do in Brasil, but I always said that that record was kind of timeless and that one day it would find its audience. I think that people outside of Brasil respond really well to this kind of music, you know. They have the right sensibility to understand it. Like I said it’s timeless, really…

So what do you think about ‘Partiu do Alto’ being released worldwide after all this time?I think it’s fantastic. Like ‘Novidade de Vida’, we did this record to show something of ourselves and we’re always happy when we can connect with people this way. And artists need an audience to express themselves. The great thing about music is that to anyone who hears it for the first time it’s always new.
