Como dizia o poeta

As the poet used to say arrived in 1971 as an album that condensed the best of Vinícius de Moraes: that blend of pure poetry and music that only he could achieve. It wasn’t just another bossa nova album, but a bridge between Brazilian rhythm and jazz, with lyrics that sounded like an intimate conversation between the poet and his audience. Recorded in Rio, the sound breathes that nighttime bar atmosphere, where each song seems written over the warmth of a glass of whisky and an acoustic guitar. What surprises most is how Vinícius managed to turn his verses—full of melancholy and humor—into melodies anyone could hum the next day.
