about

The Brazilian strain that enriched American music in the early 1960s kept developing and changing, producing a succession of compelling performers. Among Brazilian vocalists, none matched the drama and passion of Flora Purim. Her work with Stan Getz, Duke Pearson, and Gil Evans led to her greater fame as a member of Chick Corea’s group Return to Forever. She and her husband, the percussionist Airto Moreira, were omnipresent in the jazz scene of the 1970s. Purim’s involvement with drugs led to a prison term. When it ended she went back to work with a feeling of joy and liberation that is celebrated in this album. Among the colleagues sharing her exuberance are Airto, pianist George Duke, and Purim’s teacher and soul mate, the master Brazilian musician Hermeto Pascoal. The CD includes a definitive performance of Corea’s "Time’s Lie."

I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice. pandr1900

I normally only listen to electronic music, but after listening to this album months ago I found it kept calling out to me. Now after purchasing it I can see why. I am totally addicted to its beauty and harmony. Thank you so much for the wax version, as it is the only form of music I collect. kaosskid
