After a ten-year break since his last studio album - "Coisa Boa" (2014) - Moreno Veloso presents "Mundo Paralelo", an album he produced with ten songs, including the title track, released at the end of 2023 as a single, and the samba de roda ‘" Donzela se Casou", featuring the Veloso family (Caetano, Maria Bethânia, Zeca and Tom). It's a projection of evidently positive images that point to a happier world, even when the immediate surroundings are totally at odds with happiness. It really is a parallel world.
