After the breakup of Los Hermanos in 2007, Amarante began to devote himself to the Orquestra Imperial and the group Little Joy, which he co-founded with Fabrizio Moretti and Binki Shapiro.

Living in Los Angeles, a place where he was unknown, Amarante began to write songs about an "exile", and become reacquainted with his own nature, forming what would become Cavalo.

Amarante alone recorded most of the album, which features the participation of former bandmates Rodrigo Barba, Fabrizio Moretti, and Devendra Banhart.

For this leg of the tour, Amarante divided the band with Devendra, formed by Fabrizio Moretti, Todd Dahholff and Josiah Steinbrick, taking turns on the instruments.

The tour's band consisted of Rodrigo Barba (drums), Gabriel Bubu (guitar), Gustavo Benjão (bass) and Lucas Vasconcellos (keyboards).
