This is the Cd reissue of the fifth Lp by Chico Buarque (including the one just recorded in Italy). He had just returned of his one year stay in Europe, and had many things to say. In splendid samba renditions this album left immortal classics such as "Essa moça tá diferente," "Agora falando sério," "Gente humilde," "Rosa dos ventos," "Samba e amor," along with other wonderful songs which hadn't made that much success, but which constitute special moments in music and poetry. MPB-4 has an special appearance in "Tema de 'Os inconfidentes'."
