"The conception of Brazil's most famous percussionist, Airto Moreira, best known [at the time] as a side man to jazz legends Chick Corea and Miles Davis, Fourth World was formed in the late 80s as his return to the traditional sounds of his youth in Curitiba, Parana State, Brazil...In August 1992 [Fourth World with its original line up of Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, Jose Neto and Gary Meek] traveled to England to play five weeks of engagements at Ronnie Scott's clubs in London and Birmingham. These sessions provided the recordings issued on their self-titled debut album of 1992, the first of a number of inspired worldbeat sessions to see the light of day during the 90s". - AMG
