20th Anniversary Reissue. Remastered. Groundbreaking MPB/Downtempo Classic

Originally released in 2005, CéU introduced the world to a bold new voice in Brazilian music. Seamlessly blending samba, MPB, soul, and downtempo grooves, Céu delivered a debut that felt both deeply rooted and strikingly contemporary.

With her smoky, understated vocal tone, she evoked echoes of classic bossa nova while pushing into new sonic territory — covering Bob Marley's “Concrete Jungle” with Afro-Brazilian swing and layering in dub and electronica accents.

Hailed for its elegance and quiet innovation, the album hit No. 1 on Billboard’s World and Heatseekers charts, earned a Grammy nomination, and became the highest U.S. chart debut for a Brazilian female artist since Astrud Gilberto.

Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, CéU returns remastered for vinyl — a modern Brazilian classic reissued for a new generation of listeners.
