[7] The original plan was to do a special show with Russo singing accompanied by Carlos Trilha on the piano in order to raise funds to the Ação da Cidadania Contra a Fome, a Miséria e Pela Vida (Citizen Action Against Hunger and Poverty and for Life) campaign, created by Herbert de Souza, who died in 1997 of AIDS-related issues.

[7][8] After an initial performance at actor Marco Nanini's house and after listening to Trilha's keyboard programming for the show, Russo decided to register the project in studio while keeping its fundraising objectives towards that campaign.

[10] Russo believed he was the only one to know "Cathedral Song" at that time, but singer Zélia Duncan released her self-titled debut album that same year and it contained a Portuguese-language version of it.

The booklet provides information twenty-nine social entities, including the Gay Group of Bahia [ar; ast; es; fr; it; pt], ISER (Instituto de Estudos da Religião/Institute of Religious Studies), Greenpeace, Sociedade Viva Cazuza (Cazuza Viva Society) and ABIA (Associação Brasileira Interdisciplinar de AIDS/Brazilian Interdisciplinary AIDS Association).

Some of the songs included are: "Cathedral Song", Tanita Tikaram's music phenomenon of the 90's; "Miss Celie's Blues", from the soundtrack of The Color Purple, composed by Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton; his own version of the theme of Walt Disney's Pinocchio, "When You Wish upon a Star", written by Ned Washington and Leigh Harline;"Cherish", Madonna's success, but with a more folk tune and his strong vocal impression; and Bob Dylan's record "If You See Her, Say Hello", from the original 1975 album Blood on the Tracks, with the title changed to "If You See Him, Say Hello".
