Interiores
'Interiores' could be translated in two ways: interiors (one's inner side) and inland cities. This, in Brazil, has a very charged meaning. We want to evoke the peace, tranquility and simplicity of life in small towns.
We are all from Fortaleza, a big city, but we all have links to towns in wich we could experience that kind of peace.
People just walking in small squares, waking up with the rooster, placing a few chairs in the sidewalk and waiting for friends to come and chat.
That is what the album is about. Interiores is what may be called a "concept album". But it is more precisely an "experience".
