Featuring the music of Ithamara Koorax
Duration: 5:18
July 26, 2024

The second single from Gustavo Cysne’s debut solo album (scheduled for release in late 2024): a romantic & contemporary bossa nova featuring Ithamara Koorax on vocals (for several years voted one of the best jazz singers by DownBeat magazine) and an orchestral arrangement a la Claus Ogerman. The song sounds like a standard, in a sophisticated mood. Produced by Arnaldo DeSouteiro (João Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Deodato, Herbie Hancock), featuring Sergio Barroso on bass (Sarah Vaughan).
