Afonso Abreu is one of the leading musicians representing the state of Espírito Santo, located northeast of São Paulo, and is active both in groups and as a solo artist as a SSW/bassist. This album, released in 1992 and likely his first solo release, is a self-released album. This album, released in 1992 and likely his first, is a self-released album. Featuring contributions from numerous local musicians, it showcases delicate songwriting, whisper-like vocals, and smooth synths, blending Balearic-inspired AOR to Yacht Rock across its 11 tracks, that we especially recommend A2/A3/B3/B5. The sound may not be flashy, but flavorful and still relatively unknown great piece. There is light scratch on A1 that affects the sound, otherwise good shape only minor surface noise.
サンパウロの北東に位置するエスピリトサント州を代表するミュージシャンのひとりでグループやソロでも活躍するSSW/ベース奏者Afonso Abreu。本作はおそらくソロとしては初作と思われる92年の自主制作盤。地元のミュージシャンが多数参加しながら繊細なソングライティング、囁くようなウィスパーなヴォーカル、伸びやかなシンセを特徴としたバレアリック風味なAOR~YACHT ROCKまで全11曲を収録。とりわけA2/A3/B3/B5あたりオススメ。派手さはないものの味わい深いまだまだ知られていない好作です。A1に薄いスクラッチあり音に影響あり、それ以外はまずまずの状態です。
A1 - Manuela
A2 - Namorada Sem Calçada
A3 - Praia Da Castanheira
B1 - Carrilhão
B3 - Palavras E Ventos
B4 - Pano Com Pano
B5 - Guarapari
