約1年ぶりのリリースとなる今作は、ブラジル音楽をこよなく愛する彼等のこだわり選曲による、サンバ、バイーア、MPB等、ブラジル音楽をジャンルレスにピックアップしたバラエティーに富んだ作品。Beth Carvalho (ベッチ・カルヴァーリョ)の歌で大ヒットした不朽の名作「Agoniza Mas Nao Morre (サンバは死なず)」、人生のはかなさを説く奥深い歌詞と洗練されたメロディーが印象的な、ブラジル音楽の巨人・Cartola (カルトーラ)の「O Mundo e Um Moinho (人生は風車)」や、ブラジル第2の国歌とも言われる名曲「Asa Branca」等、名曲揃いの計10曲。Bophanaならではの、アコースティックで温かいアレンジ!! 前作同様、リトル・クリーチャーズの青柳拓次をサウンド・プロデューサーに起用。
