Dream Seller
A tribute to an icon of Clube da Esquina
Recognized as one of the most important lyricists in Brazil, Fernando Brant is the name behind some of the main songs of Clube da Esquina. To honor the work of the artist, who passed away in 2015, Robertinho Brant, his nephew, released the album "Vendedor de Sonhos" (Dream Seller) by the record label Biscoito Fino. The collection brings together great compositions by Brant in the voice of some of his colleagues - Milton Nascimento, Beto Guedes, Lô Borges, Toninho Horta, Flávio Venturini, and Tavinho Moura - and great artists influenced by his work - Djavan, Dori Caymmi, Seu Jorge, Roberta Sá, Samuel Rosa, Vander Lee, among others.
In addition to the careful selection of songs, made by Fernando Brant himself in life, and the interpreters, the tribute extended to the album's graphic project. The photo of the young Brant in 1971, by Juvenal Pereira, adorns the album cover, which is something uncommon for collections of composers.
The yellow tone is also a return in time: the color is the same as the insert of the LP "Clube da Esquina I," from 1972, a milestone in Brazilian music and in Fernando's career. Inside the record, the typographic composition honors the greatness and genius of the artist, translated into his lyrics.
