How crazy it is to listen once again
to the things we recorded.
I'm a bit nervous to show this track.
It all started with an email from you.
The subject was "Fino".
And there was also an mp3 file attached called “Fino".
I understood that I should write the lyrics.
When I listened to it, it was the acoustic guitar from "Tafetá"
originally called "Fino".
The thing with this acoustic guitar,
it's asking a question, isn't it?
It is in fact suggesting a Q&A with the lyrics, right?
 Exactly.
And then when I started to think about the subject,
what meaning I would like to give to this guitar,
what I had to do was to describe João Donato.
I wrote the lyrics in one night.
A long night, from 1 to 10 am, right?
We had never worked that hard on lyrics.
And it was crazy, because when we started writing it,
we thought of him playing piano.
 But when it was done and we started singing it
we had the idea to invite Donato to sing.
Yes.
We didn't know if he would accept
because usually he’s more comfortable
playing than singing, right?
So there was an expectation, if he would accept or not.
And he did and it was wonderful.
All together.
And it's beautiful to hear the way he plays the piano.
It's as if he was caressing your guitar, right?
Totally!
We got 22 channels.
Let's solo the horns section?
How exciting!
It's a darker formation, right?
G flute, which has a deeper range,
a muted trumpet, tenor sax and trombone.
It’s interesting to listen to it out of context, right?
Let’s add this güiro here, too.
Wow, I think I can score a whole film using this track only.
Totally!
Several scenes. I’d love to write a script just for this section.
Let’s solo the percussion.
There's a shaker...
A shaker is always good, right?
A shaker is always good.
There's a triangle, sounds great...
Flexitone.
Flexitone.
Cartoon style.
A little bongo.
Low tone, “fat” conga.
Let’s add some drums!
And some Donato.
Now, the bass, right?
It really sounds like a movie score!
And then Donato suggested this melody.
It’s very interesting, there are a lot of things happening
but Donato, the piano and I are very calm.
Very contemplative.
While everything is happening around us.
Let's listen.
Here the song would score a road movie.
Danser avec vous.
Yeah!
