A Samba masterpiece

"Even twenty years after his death, Cartola remains a milestone in brazilian popular music. When he made this album he was 60 years old already, but his raucous voice fits perfectilly with the beautiful acoustic arrangement.Most of the foreign listeners don't know how good is samba outside the boundaries of bossa nova.They must start from here. This is the very authentic "samba of roots"."

Rio de poesia para sedentos de samba......

"Cartola , exemplo vivo e concreto de que não é preciso ser intelectualóide para ser poeta.Fala-nos com simplicidade e poesia as amarguras e amores do dia a dia...."

"Recorded his first album only in the 70's and visited in Mangueria by major music artists of Rio de Janeiro... This is poet Cartola. One of the most important figure in samba history.
