Message from Camila:

I'd like to thank Ryo Kawasaki for his long-term friendship and his support. Without his help this CD would not be possible. I would like to thank Kiyoshi Itoh for his support and trust in me. I would also like to thank Ebine Hisao for his support and belief in me Special thanks to eight-month-old Irie Kawasaki for her sweet smiles during each recording break. Thank you also to Rika. Sharlanda, thanks for taking care of all secretarial business. Thanks to Brupha, the cat, for the scratches he placed on my hand during recording. I love you all, Camila Benson

Message from Ryo Kawasaki:

It has been a great pleasure to study, produce and arrange one of this century's remarkable composers, the late Antonio Carlos Jobim through my association with the wonderful Brazilian singer, Ms.Camila Benson. I think Ms.Benson performs one of the best interpretations of Jobim's music found today with her warm rich voice with the right feeling. She also performs beautifully on the other composers' songs included in these albums. I hope these songs and her performances will be appreciated by people for centuries to come as classic Brazilian music. Special thanks to : Camila Benson for her passion to participate on this project. Kiyoshi Itoh for his remarkable and gifted ears which helped me to polish and organize the album. Hisao Ebine for helping us materialize this album. Tom Brick for your dedicated and gifted talent as a Mastering engineer. Without your help, this album wouldn't sound as good as it does. Rika Kawasaki for your support during the project. All the musicians who participated on this album : Craig, Lincoln, Chin and Victor. You are truly talented professionals. Many thanks again for your wonderful performances.

Ryo Kawasaki
