With a few more instrumental solos than regular Lobo albums, 1970’s ‘Cantiga De Longe’ takes advantage of the genius of the arranger/instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal. The album has other stars, including percussionist Airto Moreira and drummer Cláudio Slom. There are several important songs on this album: ‘Casa Forte’ (which would be recorded later by Flora Purim), ‘Mariana, Mariana,’ ‘Cantiga De Longe,’ ‘Zanzibar,’ and others. Not Lobo’s biggest hits, but beautiful melodies and lyrics on an album with stronger instrumental support. (All Music)
