Seduzir
The fourth studio album, the last of his EMI-Odeon cycle.
Djavan, 1981
Luiz Avellar wrote the orchestrations and conducted, with Djavan on the base arrangements, and Gilberto Gil sings on the last track, in Kimbundu. The band was Banda Sururu de Capote. Djavan wrote in the liner notes that it holds the little that he learned. AllMusic's Alex Henderson gave 5 stars, hearing a Stevie Wonder influence on the title song and calling "Jogral" jazz-inspired and complex; Mauro Ferreira of Notas Musicais gave 5 and called it a synthesis of the early phase of his discography. Altamont calls it a transitional album, halfway between tradition and modernity, with the title song and "Faltando um Pedaço" its two highlights. We found no recording dates, studio or sales.
