Ed Motta is a great musician and creative artist from Rio de Janeiro. His voice and swing, is probably the major gift of their uncle Tim Maia (do you know Tima Maia? : ))
Apart from the Tim Maia's fame, Ed Motta builded his career searching for the perfect songs. Controversial he put himself in polemic occasions like when he told the Brazilian people doesn't known the basic about English during one show in Europe. By the way, he is pretty opinionated and this is probably the major problem of like people see him.
His voice was chosen one of the most hundred important of Brazilian Music ever by the Roling Stone Magazine. Nothing more to say, hun!?
The music Espaço na Van could be a pop song, but in 2003 it wasn't. I always liked of this song. The disco ballad in 125 BPM with melodical about a guy who call your girl to seat and feel confortabel in a little bus (Van) to go to the party, is a big memory of 80's and the films of 70's.
Enjoy this version with more bump drum, a especial vocal (space) treatment and brake to in and brake to out.
lyrics
Se arruma, aqui que tá bom
aqui tá dez
se arruma, tem espaço na van
tem espaço na van
Se arruma, aqui que tá bom
aqui tá dez
se arruma, tem espaço na van
tem espaço na van
Pega o trem, vem pro baile
ser feliz sem disfarçe
tudo bem, tudo vale
só nos resta sorrir
e dançar em paz
Se arruma, aqui que tá bom
aqui tá dez
se arruma, tem espaço na van
tem espaço na van
Vem cá, meu bem, me dê a mão
vamos rodar nesse salão
ainda bem que você chegoiu
vem cá, te quero
um brinde à vida
e só nos dois
Se arruma, aqui que tá bom
aqui tá dez
se arruma, tem espaço na van
tem espaço na van
Se arruma, aqui que tá bom
aqui tá dez
se arruma,…
