official limited reissue. comes in a gatefold sleeve with unreleased photos, 180 gram vinyl, remastered audio and a printed innersleeve. to coincide with the performance of arthur verocai and the kindred spirits ensemble on october 16th 2011, kindred spirits releases the collectors edition of this brazilian classic. originally released in 1972, the self-titled album by arthur verocai became one of the most sought after releases from brazil to date. the last copy on ebay went over 5000 usd. the entire album is a true masterpiece, containing funk flavorings, a touch of folk, jazz style soloing, 20 piece string arrangements, the blending of electronics and keyboards with organic sounds, and superb soundtrack style music. big tip !

repress - folk-jazz composer/arranger arthur verocai was born in rio de janeiro. he has created challenging arrangements and compositions for brazilian artists jorge ben, ivan lins, leny andrade and gal costa. in 1972 verocai recorded a self-titled solo lp. it is a stunningly innovative effort. it puts verocai into a rarified field with the heavy string oriented music of charles stepney, david axelrod and frank zappa. released in a period marked by the brazilian military government, the album fared poorly. following its re-issue in 2003 the album has become a highly influential oft sampled classic (see ludacris, mf doom and little brother). the performance of this seminal 1972 record in its entirety brought the capacity luckmann crowd to a stand still. according to verocai, >he had never played the record, alive or dead!< the music has been mixed by verocai himself in rio. history turned on its head and musical justice served.
