It is the new musical vision of Toli César Machado, composer of GNR (New Rock Group) about 35 years ago, that now is solo debut, as composer of all the songs.
A solo, but little, because "Spirit" is more a collective and therefore, for the lyric of the songs the composer invited José Luís Peixoto, Tiago Torres da Silva, Mário João Alves, Adolfo Luxúria Canibal and Jónatas Pires in a game of creative seduction , where in some subjects the composer was inspired by the lyric, and in others the writer was inspired by music, in a surprising result;

To give voice to eight of the ten themes, Toli César Machado invited Ricardo Ribeiro, Adolfo Luxúria Canibal, Selma Uamusse, Dom La Nena and Marcela Freitas. With a clear intuition on the part of the author that these would be the right singers for each of the songs, these with their magnificent interpretations eventually raised them to the sublime.
No less important was the collaboration of Rui Maia (X-Wife and Mirror People), invited to produce the album, in which he plunged deeply and with his musical aesthetic marked a decisive contribution to the final result.
"Espírito" is Portuguese music with inspiration in interculturality, a global project that intends to express the spirit lusófono in constant mutation.
It is Portuguese music. From Portugal to the World!
