Music and recording

This was Cantuária's fourth album.[1] It was produced by Lee Townsend and released by Transparent Music.[1] The compositions are by Cantuária, with David Byrne, Arto Lindsay, Gilberto Gil, and Nana Vasconcelos.[1] Other musicians include Joey Baron, Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell, Brad Mehldau, and David Byrne.[2] The JazzTimes described the music as containing "a traditional Brazilian atmosphere with contemporary colorings".[1]

"Jenny Scheinman suspends cumulus clouds of violin over 'Cliche do cliche' and 'Irapuru', while 'Ordinaria' rides on a constricted bass throb before opening into a lustrous chorus." On "Ela e carioca", "Frisell's guitar arpeggios simulate the chill piano playing of Joao Donato for a classic bossa nova feel, while elsewhere the guitars combine with Mehldau's piano to create the style's distinctive harmonies."[3]

gollark: Or it might randomly break because Apple.
gollark: I mean, 3D gaming maybe might benefit, but... mobile gaming is not good.
gollark: Do you actually *need* that for most phone use?
