Egberto Gismonti - Danca Das Cabecas

180-gram vinyl reissue

Mastered from the original analog tapes

Egberto Gismonti's Dança das Cabeças (recorded 1976) was the first ECM disc from the brilliant Brazilian guitarist and pianist and the first document of Egberto's collaboration with percussionist Nana Vasconcelos. It was a revelatory blending of sounds, Gismonti's finely sculpted compositions irradiated by Nana's Afro-Brazilian rhythm concept and his rainforest sounds. Dança das Cabeças won the German Record Critics Prize as Album of the Year in 1977.

Initially published in March 1977, a vinyl edition has been reissued in October 2016 as an audiophile pressing taken from the original analog tapes.
