"Toninho has been considered by experts and fans everywhere as one of the best guitarists and musicians ever come out of Brazil or elsewhere, and this is perhaps his best album (and that's saying a lot).

Check out two renditions he plays from two countrymen of his:



1) Milton Nascimento's: From the Lonely Afternoons (A true melodic gem that only Milton knows how to write), and...

2) Juarez Moreira's: Diamantina. ooooffffffff!!!!!!!! Toninho has no comparison.

And if that was not sufficient, check out the best cut in the album (or so I think), the tribute to the great Brazilian trombonist Raulzinho; here, he's managed to form a superb nonet with:

Joyce on Vocals

Marcio Montarroyos on Trumpet

Hugo Fattorusso on Keyboards

Robertinho Silva on Drums

Toninho himself on Guitars

Jamil Joanes on Bass

Paulo Guimaraes on Flute

and

Ronaldo & Wanderley Silva on Percussions.



A masterpiece/collectible like few...... don't let it pass you by.
