Unfamiliar with this genre, the initial listening experience can be disorienting, with distractions potentially hindering the appreciation of albums that steer clear of light and accessible themes. In this context, the work evokes parallels with artists like Catherine Ribeiro, demanding a heightened level of engagement. These records require an immersive and intentional approach, necessitating effort on the part of the listener. The lyrical content and vocal style draw comparisons to certain folk singers, but what sets this apart is the accompaniment by a jazz-rock ensemble, firmly situating it within the sonic landscape of the 1970s. Always that captivating voice, those words that touch you, shake you, annoy you, never leaving you indifferent. An album of songs carried by jazzy arrangements, sometimes bright, sometimes dark. A true gem, in short.
