Jardim-Pomar

Jardim-Pomar (Garden-Orchard) is the eighth studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Nando Reis and his band Os Infernais.

[5] Jardim-Pomar took one year to be prepared due to the fact that Reis had full control over everything, forcing him to work according to his financial situation.

I prepared it in no hurry, in one year, and it is optimistic and excited, even with some lyrics dealing with sober themes.

[6] Reis compares it to the song "Isn't It a Pity", by George Harrison, released under two different versions in All Things Must Pass (1970).

The chorus summarizes it well and cites a verse by Lupicínio: 'Não consigo dormir sem seus braços' [I can't sleep without your arms].

"Inimitável" talks about tolerance for differences and was written based on Reis's childhood with a deaf brother and a sister with cerebral palsy; both conditions resulting from their meningitis.

[6] The date which names the song (4 March) refers to an important event to the couple, but Reis did not want to give any detail.

[4] "Azul de Presunto" features, among other artists, the singers Branco Mello, Sérgio Britto, Arnaldo Antunes and Paulo Miklos, his former colleagues in Titãs, despite Antunes not being a member since the early 90s and Miklos having left the band between the recording sessions and the album release.

[1] In another interview, in which he commented the guest performances of other singers, he said:[4] The lyrics for this song says that the way things can be seen or described varies according to everyone's own point of view.

I knew Paulo, Arnaldo, Sérgio and Branco would have a good time because it is the kind of lyrics we could have done as Titãs.

When he said he did not like it, I locked myself in my bedroom for four days until I finished it.The album was released in digital, CD, cassette and vinil forms[9] – in the latter case, due to its total length, it was divided in two parts: Jardim and Pomar.

[5] Writing for O Globo, Leonardo Lichote says: "Reis conduces the listener through his 'Garden-orchard' as if he walked through the tragic-redemptive trajectory of existence – the thematic spine of the album.

[...] In the 13 tracks, among Neil Young's grammar, lessons of tradition of the Brazilian music, sounds of steps and writing machines, Reis finds his own demons, more pacified than ever.

"[11] Mauro Ferreira, at G1, said "Jardim – Pomar is an album commanded by division, already perceivable in its title" and concluded that "a result of mature reflections on themes such as love, life, death and God, Nando Reis harvest in Jardim – Pomar is big.
