ALUZ liveA story in three movements.
Build peace. Listen to the voice that gives us strength. Find meaning in being here.
First movement
“Criando Sua Paz” opens the trilogy with a movement of transformation. The song travels from night toward day, leaving imprisoning thoughts behind and making room for a new way of seeing our own existence.
Its message invites each of us to realize that building peace also begins within.
Directed by Léo Liberti, whose portfolio includes work for Creedence, Bruce Dickinson, Renato Teixeira, Paulo Ricardo and Angra, among others.
Aerial footage: Lucas Ferreira, with sport flying, high-speed low passes and daring maneuvers that bring energy and movement to the video.
Second movement
“Voz do Amor” sits at the heart of the trilogy. Every day we are surrounded by opinions, fears, expectations and demands. Among so many voices, there is one that does not diminish us, imprison us or take us away from who we are.
Mapu Huni Kuin's contribution, translating and singing in an Indigenous language, expands the meeting of music, ancestry and different ways of understanding the world.
ALUZ does not seek to offer ready-made answers. It invites each person to listen to their own questions.
Third movement
“Busque o Amor” closes the trilogy with a question that demands more than a superficial answer. After building peace and learning to recognize the inner voice, it is time to move toward what gives life meaning.
Violin, guitar, piano, drums and layers of music carry the song forward as a search.
Seek the reason you are living here. Only stop searching when you find it.
The artwork cover
Behind the cover
On the original cover, Orion’s sky meets an artist’s interpretation of a gaze.
Orion’s Belt
These three stars form Orion’s Belt, known in Brazil as the Três Marias. Reddish Betelgeuse also belongs to this constellation.
The chart shows real relative positions in the sky. The lines help identify the constellation’s pattern; they do not physically connect the stars.
The chart’s orientation differs from the cover image. The sky’s orientation changes with location, time and viewing direction.
The sky chart and painting are presented separately: astronomy and artistic interpretation.

After the sky, the gaze
On the cover, a boy watches a shooting star pass. Its light is reflected in his eye. There, too, is the reflection of the finger pointing at the sky.
It is the instant when discovery lights up the gaze.
An immense event, told through such a small detail.
Turn the cover over. The story continues.
On the back cover, we see the boy from behind. Now the scene opens out: he stands among the mountains, in wonder, pointing at the shooting star.
What we first saw reflected in his eye now unfolds into landscape, distance and silence.
You don't need to understand everything first
Press play and continue the journey. “Criando Sua Paz”, “Voz do Amor” and “Busque o Amor” were conceived as movements of a single passage.

The passage
“O Nascimento” is more than a collection of three songs. Each song represents a stage of a journey that begins within us.
O Nascimento is not only about the beginning of a project. It is about the possibility of beginning again.
Beneath the Same Stars
The one thing that remains the same for everyone is the sky.
Places, stories, scales and paths change.
Yet above us, the same mystery, the same vastness, the same light remain.
ALUZ is born from this reminder: we are part of something greater, and music can reconnect us with it.
Serra da Mantiqueira · Minas Gerais, Brazil
ALUZ was born at the foot of Morro Pelado, in the Serra da Mantiqueira. Mountains, nature, the passage from night to day and the vastness of the sky are part of the work.
ALUZ visual universe
ALUZ draws on Impressionism and Van Gogh’s work to turn emotion into color and movement. Blue and magenta give this visual language its ALUZ identity.
The screen does not hold a single still image for each song. The scenes keep changing with the lyrics, the message and the musical atmosphere. The images below from “Trem Azul” and “Cais” are just two moments from these moving sequences.
The image changes with what the music is saying.
Prologue · The awakening
Every journey begins when something awakens within us.
“I didn't start ALUZ. The songs came first.”
Before reaching the stage, ALUZ had to be born.
Not only as a musical project, but as a new way of turning questions, feelings and human experiences into music, imagery and movement.
“O Nascimento” is the starting point of this story.
Chapter 1 · The origin
“O Nascimento” did not begin on a stage. It began in a time of silence, uncertainty and listening.
The pandemic was a turning point.
During that time, continuing to make music no longer seemed certain. After a lifetime devoted to art came silence, uncertainty and the need to listen to what was still alive within.
ALUZ's first songs did not come from a strategy. They emerged as answers to questions that remained open.
How do we find peace when everything feels out of place? How do we recognize the voice that truly wants the best for us? What gives meaning to our time here?
It was in that moment of rupture and renewal that “O Nascimento” began to exist.
The music was born as an answer before it existed as a project.
ALUZ was born at the foot of Morro Pelado, in the Serra da Mantiqueira. At the summit of that same mountain, 1,350 meters above sea level, “Criando Sua Paz” found its images.
A return to the origins, in the mountains of Minas Gerais, where the constellations seem closer.
A beginning in many directions
The birth of ALUZ.
A return to creating.
The meeting of music, imagery and storytelling.
The beginning of a body of work told in chapters.
This work represents several beginnings at once, and the discovery that even after the hardest times, something can still be born within us.
The first trilogy, “O Nascimento”, was released on September 9, 2025. But its story did not end that day. The songs kept growing, found new images, reached the stage and began to touch other people.
The constellation of O Nascimento
Each person was chosen for their skill on their instrument, and also for the honesty, presence and soul they brought to every note.
“I'm just an antenna.”
One story meets another
Bass
When André Neiva joined the trilogy, the story of ALUZ met an important chapter in Brazilian music itself.
His career spans generations, with work alongside Milton Nascimento, Tim Maia, Gal Costa, João Bosco and Jorge Vercillo.
His arrival was more than a musical contribution. It brought a newly emerging work together with a career deeply connected to Brazilian music.
Andre guided the trilogy from its first ideas to its final form, bringing music, storytelling, production and visual language together in one artistic universe.
With a master's degree in Psychology from UFBA, this writer and student of philosophy brought his insight into the human mind to lyrics that invite reflection.
His experience, precision and strength helped shape the movement and emotional dynamics of the songs.
His performance contributed to the trilogy's moments of delicacy, depth and expansion.
His contribution added sensitivity and intensity to the work's musical narrative.

The music on stage · Minas set
ALUZ was born in Minas Gerais, at the foot of Morro Pelado in the Serra da Mantiqueira.
That is why Minas appears in the show as more than a tribute. It lives in the landscape, in memory and in the way songs become stories.
25nonstop minutes
8songs from the Minas Gerais musical universe
1original finale
The masters who paved the way
Milton Nascimento, Lô Borges and the world of Clube da Esquina helped give sound to the soul of Minas Gerais. Vander Lee left songs of rare sensitivity.
In ALUZ, these works receive new arrangements and meet the project's musical and audiovisual language.
Not nostalgia, but reverence.
The surprise lies in the transition
There is no pause announcing the change. A chord lingers, the rhythm shifts, a melody leaves a clue.
By the time the audience notices, another song has already begun, and one question follows every bar: which song comes next?
The audience discovers the path as they travel along it.
A flowing repertoire
The path leads home
The journey builds toward “Maria, Maria”, when the audience joins in singing. Even those who do not know every verse recognize the power of the chorus and take part.
But the set does not end with the tribute. It finds its finale in “Meu Sol”, an original ALUZ song about the light, warmth and energy that renew life.
“Breathe deeply. Breeze and warmth fill your being with energy.”
ALUZ was born in Minas Gerais, and carries Minas wherever it goes.

The first songs appear.
The trilogy begins to take shape.
Other musicians join the work.
The three songs reach the world.
The music meets the audience, the press and the stage.
We come from different places on Earth, but we create music beneath the same stars.
