Ana Caram - Rio After Dark (Limited Edition One-Step) Chesky

Ana Caram – Rio After Dark

Part of the Chesky Original Masters Series | Limited Edition 180g One-Step Vinyl

Experience the timeless 1989 bossa nova classic that introduced São Paulo singer and guitarist Ana Caram to the world. Reissued as part of the Chesky Original Masters Series, Rio After Dark delivers an extraordinary audiophile listening experience, meticulously pressed on 180-gram high-definition vinyl using the ultimate One-Step Plating Process.

Masterful Collaborations & Audiophile Quality

Mentored by bossa nova pioneer Antônio Carlos Jobim, Caram is joined by Jobim himself on piano and vocals for haunting renditions of "Meditation" and "Anos Dourados (It Looks Like December)." The album also features Grammy-winning Cuban-American reed master Paquito D'Rivera on saxophone and clarinet across "La Cumbia" and "O Que Vier Eu Traço."

Supported by world-class musicians—including pianist David Chesky, flutist Steve Sacks, bassist David Finck, and percussionists Carlos Alberto de Oliveira and Café—Caram’s syncopated guitar work and velvety vocals define an authentic continuation of the bossa nova legacy.

What is One-Step Vinyl? The One-Step process creates pressings directly from stampers converted from the initial lacquer cut, skipping intermediate steps to dramatically lower surface noise and preserve every subtle acoustic nuance.
