Album lore

Mariana Aydar’s 2009 album Peixes, Pássaros, Pessoas emerges from the fertile grounds of contemporary MPB, with thirteen tracks weaving influences from forró tradicional to French jazz and fado. Released by Universal Music Ltda., the record carries the warmth of Brazilian rhythms alongside a cosmopolitan sensibility, evident in songs like “Beleza,” which balances melodic ease with subtle instrumental colors. The album’s palette includes accordion and percussion touches, anchoring its new MPB identity while nodding to regional traditions.Recorded at a moment when São Paulo’s music scene embraced a renewed interest in blending local forms with wider global currents, Aydar’s voice threads through compositions such as “Florindo” and “Poderoso Rei” with an assured intimacy. Peixes, Pássaros, Pessoas is an artifact of its time, presenting a nuanced listen for those attuned to the evolving canon of Brazilian songcraft, where the lineage of forró and samba persists alongside exploratory gestures drawn from beyond Brazil’s borders.
