It all began with a song lyrics that Fernando Matias gave me back on 2006. I remember that I had asked him for lyrics, telling him that ever since my arrival in Canada I hadn\u2019t made any music, and that I longing to compose. Perceptively, he asked me if I was recording a CD, and said I he would give me the song if I planned on recording it. I thought to myself, it\u2019s strange, I\u2019ve been making music for 10 years and nobody has ever said to me that they would only give my a lyrics under that condition. Interestingly, I agreed and waiting anxiously for the song. What came was Aquarela<\/em>, for the song was born the same day, and was no longer just a poem on a page. From there, all of the incentive came, along with an immense feeling to tell a story, my history in Canada, how I ended up here, the story of music in my life ( \u201cM\u00fasica<\/em>\u201d ), a new love the was developing ( \u201cMenino<\/em>\u201d ), a longing for what was left behind (\u201cMeu<\/em> Samba<\/em>\u201d). I gathered everything new that I had lived, from the influences that I reencountered here ( samba |  funk | maracatu | jazz ) and synthesized everything, reflecting in my own songs  and  the music  of my  mother,  Irin\u00e9a Maria Ribeiro     ( \u201cChorinho<\/em>\u201d,  \u201cMal Cura<\/em>\u201d ), and of my father Luis Moreno (  \u201cGato cor de caf\u00e9<\/em>\u201d )<\/strong>. This is the result of the collective work of a musical family.<\/p>\n

Dedications<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to dedicate this first record to all of my many close friends that helped me so much throughout this project. To my mother, Irin\u00e9a Maria Ribeiro, a great musician and human being \u2013 my teacher and inspiration. <\/strong>To my father Luis Moreno , and my grandmother Alzira (in memory), I dedicate not only this CD but all of my musical existence.<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n
