A self-released album recorded in 1985 by singer songwriter Sá Brito from Porto Alegre, which formed a unique music scene on the border between Argentina and Uruguay. As other Porto Alegre works, it features Kim Ribeiro, Gelson Oliveira, Annie Perec, Geraldo Flach, and many other local musicians. Total 10 tracks that are characteristic to this region, combining the depth of sound and unique rhythmic sensibilities of these performers. Among the best tracks are obscure feel title track "Ar De Afronta", "Sud America 85" which weaves his own berimbau and percussion, folky “Coisas De Água” with its droll, indigenous feel, and the saudade-tinged acoustic ballad “Mágico”. Great brazilian piece. that deserves more attention.

アルゼンチンとウルグアイに接し特異な音楽シーンを形成したポルトアレグレのSSW Sá Britoが残した85年録音の自主制作盤。他のポルトアレグレ産作品に多く見られるKim Ribeiroを筆頭にGelson Oliveira, Annie Perec, Geraldo Flachなどローカルミュージシャンが多数参加。その演者達による音の厚みに独特なリズム感覚を併せ持ったこの地域ならではの全10曲を収録。とりわけオブスキュア感覚のタイトル曲”Ar De Afronta”、自らのビリンバウとパーカッションが織り成す”Sud America 85”、この地らしいドロッとした土着感覚を持ったフォーキーな”Coisas De Água”、サウダージ系のアコースティック・バラード”Mágico”は特に秀逸。どの曲もよく練られています。これはもっと注目されてもいいのでは。
