Pupillo, a Brazilian musician, has released his debut solo album simply named 'Pupillo' under the Amor in Sound label, founded by Mario and Samantha Caldato. His recollections of the late musician Naná Vasconcelos are deeply embedded in the creation of this album, as Vasconcelos had encouraged him to listen to albums with innovative approaches to music while highlighting how political contexts can shape artistic expression. Pupillo’s memories about Vasconcelos serve as both motivation and a recognition of how these influences have framed his current musical journey.

The album is a reflection of Pupillo's own moments and experiences rather than a culmination of years of work. He emphasizes that it does not represent an extensive life narrative or a concept album but rather a snapshot of where he is currently as an artist. This approach underscores a significant moment for him, catalyzed by an invitation that led to the mixing of his work, resulting in a project that feels both raw and immediate.

Through this release, Pupillo aims to dive deep into his artistic expression while subtly engaging with the legacy of those who influenced him, such as Vasconcelos. The album is particularly relevant in a country where music plays a pivotal role in cultural and social discourse, carrying potential implications for audiences as they connect to the themes and emotions conveyed within his songs.
