Album lore

Issued by Indie Records Ltda in late 2017, this redux edition of the Central do Brasil soundtrack gathers twenty tracks accompanying the 1998 Brazilian film. The compilation embraces armorial and nova MPB idioms, weaving folk-inflected toadas alongside urban themes. Among the pieces, "Toada e desafio" recurs in several variations, underscoring its thematic weight within the score.The selection charts the moods of railway journeys and farewells, titles such as "O Trem" and "Despedida" marking narrative moments. Though the roster of session musicians remains unlisted, the album stands as a document of late 20th-century Brazilian soundtrack aesthetics, preserved here for crate-diggers attuned to regional canons and the interplay of traditional forms within cinematic contexts.
