Its duration, just over three and a half minutes, is enough to immerse us in a particular sonic atmosphere. The figure behind this creation is Marcus Vinícius, a fundamental name for understanding the richness of Brazil's music. Beyond being a composer, his legacy extends to poetry, leaving behind lyrics that are today considered pillars of musical culture.
Marcus Vinícius, born and died in Rio de Janeiro, had a multifaceted life that included his work as a diplomat. However, it is his connection with music that resonates most strongly.
