In 2008, after 17 years, the Brazilian band Ultramen decides to stop its activities indefinitely.
The lead singer Tonho moved to New York city and met Simon Katz (former member of Jamiroquai) and Zé Luís Oliveira (saxophonist and producer of Bebel Gilberto, Caetano Veloso and Banda Black Rio).
Together, they produced five tracks influenced by samba, bossa nova, swing/samba rock, afrobeat, r'n'b and soul. Brazilian smelling, but with the world spices.
