"This is Lisa's seventh album. This outstanding recording includes appearances by Tom Jobim, Mario Adnet, Sivuca, Danilo Caymmi, and Paulo Jobim. The songs on this album range from beautiful quiet arrangements for voice and guitar like "Um Abraço No Joao" to fun up-tempo samba arrangements like "Samba da Esperança". Antonio Carlos Jobim sings with Lisa and plays piano on the lovely song "Estrada Branca". Also displayed is some wonderful clarinet work by the famous Brazilian clarinet player Paulo Moura on "A Gafieira"."
