Review: Among other elements: windows, blue, old regional post cards, two young musicians, 15 songs and a caldron of Brazil's mid-west artistic influences mixed up with rock. A pioneer project, that puts together local influences, folk, rock, grunge to intimate lyrics. Guga and Guilherme mixed up several and ample musical references to a modern romanticism. Their audacity found back up in their music, sang along by the public in the duo's shows. The album sold out its first edition in November 2004, even with the songs available for download in their website. This album establishes a new period on the contemporary music from Mato Grosso do Sul state: new and young sonorities, but in straight communication with those that formed the state's musical identity.
