about

Recorded in Rio, São Paulo, Memphis and London with the finest musicians in each city, blending the beauty of Brazilian melody, harmony and rhythms with the soul of R&B and blues.

Special guests include Téo Lima, Sizão Machado, Mestres da Bateria da Mangueira, US Hammond star Charlie Wood, Sérgio Cassiano, John Parricelli and Julian Jackson. The 11 original songs feature lyrics by Pedro Casadalma, and singers Mônica Vasconcelos and Valdo Silva.

*** The physical CD features a version of IVAN LINS' "Velas Içadas" performed by the Brazilian icon himself but due to copyright laws this track is not available for download from Bandcamp ***

"an ambitious album that's nearly fantastic...if Wells could get all these musicians together on tour, which might be a tall order, it could be sensational..."
Peter Culshaw, SONGLINES MAGAZINE
