Brazilian percussionist Nan Vasconcelos's album Saudades, recorded in March 1979, was the culmination of a dream for a musician who had long yearned to hear the berimbau in an orchestral context. Produced by Manfred Eicher, Saudades remains an extraordinary journey, an ahead-of-its-time album waiting for the world to catch up. This vinyl reissue, in gatefold sleeve, adds new liner notes providing historical context and background information.
