The CD contains 14 tracks of delightful choro music in the great tradition from Conjunto Època de Ouro and Jacob do Bandolim, a must-have for every fan of this genuine Brazilian music. Déo Rian and his conjunto are excellent representatives for the classic choro tradition reaching back to the 1940s and the famous Regional of Benedito Lacerda and Pixinguinha, later continued by Canhoto e seu Regional which accompanied Jacob do Bandolim during the 1950s and start of the 1960s until the formation of conjunto Època de Ouro was established in 1964. After Jacob do Bandolim's passing in 1969 Déo Rian became the bandolinist of Època de Ouro and was a regular member of the ensemble until 1977. Déo Rian established his own career on record in 1970 with a LP devoted to music by Ernesto Nazareth and has since released several recordings in his own name, among them two volumes of unissued compositions by Jacob do Bandolim. In 2002, Déo Rian was among the initators of establishing the Instituo Jacob do Bandolim and since 2012 he has held the chair as director. More about Déo Rian's career here
