Recorded in Rio, these dozen tracks testify to the flexibility of recording technology today. Mandolin virtuoso De Holanda recorded himself whenever he felt like it, using a good mike and his laptop - in hotel rooms on the road as well as in his home. He wanted to capture the intimacy of his mandolin and some of his "instantaneous" compositions. TrackList: Soho's samba, Beatriz, Gratitude, Luiza, Star ground, Little Lady, A cesar o que e do cesar, The Roses Don't Speak, Passarim, Ocean's Sweet, Love long love, The spell of the vila.
