Originally released in 1972 on the Odeon label, Quarteto Em Cy stands as a high-water mark in the group's prolific discography -- and a hidden gem for collectors of Brazilian vinyl. Known for their intricate vocal harmonies and deep roots in the bossa nova movement, the quartet ventures into post-bossa territory here, where sophistication meets groove in all the right ways. Arrangements by Edu Lobo and Luiz Eça (of Tamba Trio) lend the album a richly layered sound -- elegant, jazzy, and emotionally resonant -- while the group's harmonies remain as mesmerizing as ever. It's a masterclass in vocal interplay and tasteful orchestration, with an unmistakable Brazilian soul running through every track. Highlights include their stunning interpretation of Milton Nascimento's "Tudo Que Você Podia Ser," along with deep cuts like "Quando o Carnaval Chegar," "Canto de Obá," and "Cantoria." These recordings capture a moment when the group, already respected collaborators of Vinícius de Moraes, Jobim, and Chico Buarque, hit a new creative stride. Long out of print and often cited as their finest work, this self-titled LP has become a sought-after piece among collectors of MPB, bossa, and '70s harmony pop. For those drawn to groups like The Free Design or The Mamas & The Papas -- but with a distinctly Brazilian elegance -- this album offers a rare and rewarding listen. Reissue on 180g vinyl.
