Paulinho Moska is a very popular young Brazilian composer/singer connected with the latest trends of the recording business.
Moska has performed sambas on cult TV shows to make clear he respects Brazilian tradition, but when it comes to risking his neck, he prefers to be safe. The album is a handful of contemporary pop rhythms, in nothing related to Brazilian music, with the exception of an interesting samba, "Paixão e Medo" with the established writer
Nilo Romero. It is a clear -- even if incomplete -- picture of the urban middle class audiences in Brazil today. ~ Alvaro Neder
