This is an album of rare beauty and elegance and yet an album of understated power. Marco Pereira has become known not just as Brazil's greatest guitarist since Baden-Powell but also as an important contemporary composer. He has performed and made recordings not only in his own right but also with some of Brazil's finest musicians including Edu Lobo, Milton Nascimento, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Daniela Mercury Hamilton de Holanda and Gilberto Gil. He tours regularly with American guitarist Ralph Towner. Special guest is Paul McCandless (a member of Oregon with Ralph Towner). He is skilled in all woodwind instruments and has performed the world over with the likes of Jaco Pastorious, Carla Bley, Wynton Marsalis, Steve Reich and Al Jarreau.
