Brazilian pop-rock at its finest, Kid Abelha released this album in 1991. They hail from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the name of the album means Everything’s Allowed in Portuguese. Paula Toller, the lead singer, has a soothing, subtle voice which can explode melodiously when needed to. On this album she sings lead on all songs on except one, Electricidade. They are considered to be quite a “hit factory” in Brazil and have released 13 studio albums along with several live ones. I speak Portuguese so I know what they are singing about, but I’ve always maintained that sung Portuguese is one of the sexiest languages you can ever hear, so it might not matter if you don’t understand everything she sends your way. My favorite tracks on this album are Não Vou Ficar, a tune with a bit of funk and horns, Fantasias and for a slower ballad Grand' Hotel.Here they are performing the aforementioned slow ballad, Grand' Hotel.
