This third album, recorded in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, keeps the formula tight and warm, with arrangements by Waldir Arouca de Barros and Maia producing himself. Several of the players came from the group Abolição, a seed of what became Banda Black Rio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusicians including José Roberto Bertrami, Dom Salvador and Carlos Dafé give the grooves a lithe, jazzy snap. \"Idade\" opens with that unmistakable voice front and centre, and \"O Que Me Importa\" later found new fans through Marisa Monte's version. The English-language \"These Are the Songs\" and \"Where Is My Other Half\" nod to the years Maia spent living in the United States, where he soaked up the soul records that shaped his sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt barely over half an hour, it is a compact record where every groove counts, built for repeat plays rather than background listening. The splatter pressing adds a visual kick to match, a fitting look for one of Brazilian music's most colourful characters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57188215062833,"sku":"199957806978","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Tim_Maia-Tim_Maia_1972_Cream_Black_Splatter.jpg?v=1793291485","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/tim-maia-tim-maia-1972-cream-black-splatter","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
