It's not from today that Zélia Duncan likes to say that her dream is that one day every brazilian is gonna sing, at least, one of Itamar Assumpção' song by heart. Since her album "Intimidade" (Intimacy, 1996), she makes use of the paulista composer's repertoire in every work of hers. Itamar, himself, asked Zélia to sing with him the track "Dor Elegante" (composed with Paulo Leminski, a great brazilian poet) in his 1998's album, PretoBrás. The experience was so powerful to Zélia that, at that same week, she decided to make a tatoo in her arm.

The first of future colaborations of Zélia here, in Pocketmusic, is dedicated to Itamar. The first song, the side A, comes from the first LP of the composer, "Beleléu, Leléu, Eu", released in 1980 by the independent label Lira Paulistana. "Nega Música" (Itamar Assumpção) was never heard before in Zélia's voice. No longer, it is.

The side B is, literally, a song made by flesh and blood, since the day of shooting was made in a rush to register the new visit of the singer in a tatoo' studio called Leds Tatoo, where Zélia retouched the old tatoo "Dor Elegante".
