Edu Falaschi's new album is a continuation of Vera Cruz.
After much speculation from fans, it's confirmed that the conceptual story of Edu Falaschi's first solo album will continue in a trilogy. In this second part, Edu Falaschi will showcase even more themes related to Latin America, including Brazil.
According to the artist, the story of Eldorado begins with the encounter between the character of the Black Bishop and the Aztec empire. The artist's approach involves traversing the most diverse aspects of Latin music, from the pre-colonial period to modern Latin music, with songs in Spanish, native languages, rhythms, harmonies, and melodies characteristic of an ancient culture of great cultural value to humanity. The first confirmed special guest on the album represents this, with the indigenous singer and songwriter Sara Curruchich .
Maintaining the same lineup as their first solo album, with production by Edu Falaschi and Roberto Barros, the band will feature Aquiles Priester (drums), Fábio Laguna (keyboards), Diogo Mafra (guitar), Roberto Barros (guitar), and Raphael Dafras (bass). Mixing and mastering will be handled by Dennis Ward , who has produced major albums such as Angra 's Rebirth and Temple Of Shadows , and Edu Falaschi's own Vera Cruz .
