Moacyr Luz is one of those composers with enormous success who is unknown to the audiences. On this, his first solo CD, are his successful compositions "Jogo Rasteiro" (with
Nei Lopes), "Encontros Cariocas" (with
Aldir Blanc), "Samba de Fato" (with
Paulo César Pinheiro), and several others, mostly with
Aldir Blanc. The intense urban poetry of the chronicler of the urban hills of Rio is competently backed by creative melodies in an album where artistic sincerity is the raw material. ~ Alvaro Neder
