Perfume Azul Do Sol

Recorded in Sao Paulo in 1974, 'Nascimento' was the first and only album of the band Perfume Azul Do Sol, mixing the talents of Pedro Baldanza (bass), Jean (guitar), Gil (drums), the voice and piano of Ana Maria Guedes and the Nordestine influences of Benvindo (voice and guitar). Husband and wife Ana and Benvindo were the heart and soul of the album, a brilliant songwriting team. Benvindo seems to have come from Pernambuco and was well versed in the Baiao Northeastern rhythmic structures that gave birth to forr� and coco rhythms. On the album Ana's melodies mix with Benvindo's natural swing soaked in baiao, forr� and psychedelia. The great Daniel Salinas helps out with the horn arrangements.
