“Maria Gasolina” recounts the story of young girls who only date men for their expensive cars and fat wallets. “Catia Catchaça” chronicles the exploits of Latino’s friend who drinks too much, exaggerates and never remembers the next morning. “Meu Gol de Placa” mixes sex and soccer metaphors and was a huge hit during the World Cup Games.

This album was produced by Ian Duarte and Fabianno, the producers of the Euro-dance group Kasino from Brazil. The managing direction was headed by Christovam Neumann and José Carlos “Kaká” Silva and the CD was released under the label of Up In The Air Produções and distributed by Som Livre in Brazil.
