Produced by Alex Moreira, keyboarder of Bossacucanova, who shares the arrangements with another member
of the group the bass player Marcio Menescal, this first record of Marissa Groberg gives a contemporary version
of the samba: free, light and relaxed. The rhythm gives the pitch, it has a good beat, and an instrumentation, the electronic effects of which, accentuate the sensual pleasure. By the side of Marissa Groberg - a young Carioca who has spent the last five years with the group Monobloco where
she played the percussion (amongst other activities) - and that of Alex Moreira and of Marcio Menescal, we once again
find Gandelman, Flávio Mendes, Jovi Joviniano, Alceu Maia, Carlinhos 7 Cordas and Cris Delannos. In other words a first
rate band accompanying a singer with a beautiful voice, an accurate technique and a skilled interpretation.
