Um gôsto de Sol

The story behind

A Taste of Sun is one of those songs that sticks to your body from the first chord. It's not just the melody that captivates, but that blend of light and shadow that Milton Nascimento achieves with his falsetto, as if the sun itself were singing between fleeting clouds. The song progresses with a cadence that seems to breathe: it's not a song that drags you along, but one that invites you to walk to its rhythm, as if each note were a step on the sand of Piratininga. What's most curious is how the arrangement, with its overlapping choirs like waves, gives it a nearly choral dimension without ever losing the intimacy of a dialogue.
