About this album

Open Your Eyes You Can Fly is a vibrant showcase of Flora Purim’s singular voice and adventurous musical range. Issued in 1976, the album blends jazz fusion, Latin jazz and funk with a rhythmic lightness that gives her singing room to glide, leap and improvise. Purim had already become one of the most distinctive vocalists in fusion circles through her work with Airto Moreira and other forward-looking players, and this record reinforces her reputation for combining technical control with exuberant expression. Its mix of airy melodies, Brazilian inflection and electric groove made it an important part of her mid-1970s creative peak.
