Arthur Verocai Featuring Azymuth, Ivan Lins

After decades of cult reverence for his 1972 masterpiece, Arthur Verocai returned with Encore — an album that feels less like a comeback than a revelation.
Recorded in Rio with a dream ensemble including Azymuth and Ivan Lins, it bridges generations of Brazilian musicianship into a single, radiant expression.

Strings swirl with cinematic poise, horns breathe like dialogue, and Verocai’s arrangements glide between soul-jazz sophistication and Brazilian rhythmic intricacy. Tracks like “Bis,” “Filhos,” and “Daquele Jeito” glow with nostalgia and invention — the feeling of remembering something you’ve never heard before.

Encore captures Verocai’s singular vision: melancholic yet elevated, orchestral yet intimate — the sound of Rio refracted through decades of quiet wisdom.
A landmark in modern Brazilian music, pressed with the warmth and weight it deserves.
