We're from São Paulo, but, in pocket music, there wasn't any artist from SP... yet. Arnaldo Antunes is from SP, so surely, we did something in a place that was iconic: the old downtown.
He composes with a guitar, but he never plays it on stage, usually he dances and jumps a lot. But, here, he chose to take a chance and play two songs with his guitar to go along with his strong and deep voice.
Arnaldo has an extensive cv, it goes from his participation in a popular brazilian band called Titãs, going to an extensive solo project, which includes soundtracks and music for ballets, to his participation in other super popular brazilian trio called Tribalistas (with Marisa Monte & Carlinhos Brown). So, there was much to choose from.
But we wanted more, so we asked him a never-heard-before-song. And we've had it!

SIDE A - VÁ TRABALHAR
(go to work)
august/2007 - são paulo (sp) - in the vale

"Vá trabalhar" (Arnaldo Antunes) is our never-heard-before-side A-shot in the old downtown of São Paulo. He's in a place called "Vale do Anhangabaú", a wide kind of square. It's a song that, according to Arnaldo, was made years ago when he was part of Titãs, but they never recorded it. It talks about the hole that you can get into, when you start working and forget about your family.
SIDE B - VOLTE PARA O SEU LAR
(go back to your home)
august/2007 - são paulo (sp) - in a place under construction

And in our side B, Arnaldo gets into a hole to play a song that says to a leader to go back home, in its superficial essence, of course. It's a song that has been recorded by Marisa Monte in her album "Mais" (1991) and in Arnaldo's "Um som" (1998). He recovers, here, the first arrangement of the song when he presented to Marisa, 16 years ago.
