Gliding joyfully between Brazilian standards such as the mythical Agua De Beber from A.C. Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, Samba Triste from Baden Powell and Billy Blanco, or Samba De Mi Tierra composed by Dorival Caymmi (and covered in France by the eccentric Jean Constantin), and Tapajos' sumptuous originals such as Sambachiana or Vida Burguesa, TAP single-handedly symbolises the richness and diversity of the sound "do Brasil".

It was in 1973 that the legendary Argentinean producer Alfredo Radoszynski discovered Maria Nazareth and Arnaldo Henriques during a party that Sebastiao Tapajos had organized in his home city of Rio de Janeiro. Impressed by the swing and sophistication of these two young Brazilian artists, he invited them to Buenos Aires, along with Sebastiao Tapajos, to record TAP, which would, during the following thirty years, become one on the most sought after Bossa records - a status that owed just as much to its artistic qualities as to its exclusive Argentinean pressing.
