Fernando Lona - Cidadao do Mundo (1977)

I took this album for a hearing today with zeca and I got really amazed. I had to take zeca out of the room to make a focused hearing, it is not everyday you get hooked by something at the first time. Later I knew this is the first and only album by this artist, which is also a composer, director and actor. He is the author of Porta Estandarte (Geraldo Vandre / Fernando Lona), an anthological song that won the first prize at Festival Nacional de Musica Popular by TV Excelsior.
