In May of 2005 the Polar music prize was awarded to the Brazilian artist and Minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil. In connection with this a Brazil festival was organised in Stockholm and Lisa was asked to participate with a concert at Mosebacke as well as being asked to honour Gil during the award ceremony. For this occasion three of the musicians that Lisa had worked with in Rio were flown to Sweden and together with two Swedish musicians they performed three concerts. In order to create a repertoire for a Swedish audience Lisa began to write Swedish lyrics to some of the songs that had taken her fancy in Brazil. The tour was greeted with great enthusiasm and praised in reviews. From this was born the idea of a collaboration and creation of an album.
Lisa returned to Rio six months later and made preparations for the recording. After a few months of searching for a studio, gathering song material, trying to raise financial support and writing the Swedish lyrics she started rehearsing with the Rio band. Lisa produced for the second time and built up the album out of live sessions and through a democratic process with all involved.
