Reissue, originally released in 1976. Eduardo Araújo is a Brazilian singer owner of a bold but also incredible high note voice; and his duo singer Silvinha, owner of a great soulful voice, having both been very known to main public and successful in their careers across various music styles from the '60s, '70s, and '80s in Brazil. Araújo reached fame when still young in the early sixties with the massive hit "O Bom" in the Brazilian movement of "Jovem Guarda", along with his fellow companions Erasmo Carlos and Tim Maia, who were also young with success to come. Eduardo Araújo and Silvinha married in the late sixties and partnered in life and music, sometime having recorded both in solo and duo albums, always in the music spotlight for their talent and also surrounded by great musicians. After his successful debut, Eduardo Araújo introduced soul music in Brazil with the album A Onda é Boogaloo in 1968, produced by Tim Maia. In the 1972, Eduardo Araújo released the first Brazilian record recorded in 24 tracks, Kizumbau, which brought many innovations and is very known for his particular style of combining funk rock with Brazilian regional rhythms. In 1975, Eduardo Araújo made a conceptual album into the roots of rock and roll called Pelos Caminhos do Rock, which opened a door to reach more hard rock bands from the decade, influenced by Steppenwolf and Creedence Clearwater Revival. For 1976 album, Eduardo Araújo wanted to dive into Brazilian culture, so he travelled to Salvador, Bahia and was presented to capoeira and candomblé, two Brazilian cultures originated from the African Brazilian community since the colony period, to develop his new album Sou Filho Desse Chão, now in his brand new owned eight-channel studio facility. Eduardo Araujo brought a dream team of musicians, naming Dirceu, drummer from tropicalia and first drummer from the Os Mutantes album; Luciano Souza "Luguita", guitarist legend who mentored famous guitarists such as Pepeu Gomes from Novos Baianos and played with Arnaud Rodrigues and Som Nosso; Valdecir on bass, from Black Rio, the influential band leading movement of black music from Rio de Janeiro; and sanfonista Dominguinhos, the most famous disciple of Luiz Gonzaga. The album cover was also not conventional for the market by Eduardo's choice: he wanted to show the real picture of the hot, dry and arid Brazilian "sertão", dramatically portraited in the drawing with the brutal skeleton riding it's chivalry from fire. As Eduardo Araújo explained in 1976: "Our musical philosophy remains the same: mixing rock and northeastern music to make a universal sound."

There is a legend that in Terreno Baldio (translated "Wasteland") there is a mystical being who cleans the land of the rivers and seas that the day has brought. Each one has its own land, it is the place where you cleanse yourself, and in a big city, the land wasteland remains as the purification of all who play their rivers and seas, so that the mystical being called Aqueloo, brings his dance rituals at night, spells and clear the ground for the next day.
The band Terreno Baldio was born in 1974, when they got together in a group with the purpose of making progressive rock. Roberto Lazzarini was already playing with João Kurk and Joaquim in the Ilanders group, a dance band; Mozart Mello and João Ascensão joined there, having met on the recordings of Pete Dunaway's album. Everyone knew and liked King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Yes, wanting to make a more worked sound as a group, thus creating Terreno Baldio. Terreno Baldio's music has always had a progressive feel, which was unusual for the standards of the time, characteristic for being well-crafted harmonically and musically, rhythmically, which is the mark of the prog feel. Terreno Baldio is hailed as one of the leading progressive rock bands from the seventies in Brazil, from its surrealistic album art to its equally interesting music. The homonymous work Terreno Baldio, released in 1976, was an active part of a whole scenario of youth suffering from strong political repression, representing in the song "Grite" (Scream) the desire of all Brazilian society that yearned to express its voice with freedom, being an impressive moment of collective catharsis in their live performances. Terreno Baldio has officially released two albums, the first Terreno Baldio, and the second album called Além das Lendas Brasileiras, where progressive rock got even closer to Brazilian culture. Recently with the death of singer João Kurk, the band brought in singer Roger Troyjo, remaining active with the original members Roberto Lazzarini and Mozart Mello, in addition to the accompaniment of Edson Ghilardi on drums, Geraldo Vieira on double bass and violin with Cássio Poletto. Roberto Lazzarini had a solo album called Libera o Bicho released in 2004 with the participation of the band's musicians.
