Anitta collaboration
“I sent a simple video singing, inviting her to help amplify the song. She replied saying she loved it and wanted to add her voice. A straight, musical conversation. And it turned out very beautiful. I hope people are moved by this song.”
The first part of “Bênção” was released in 2025. It included five tracks, such as “Pipoca, Povo, Presente”. This way, the new release completes the album’s tracklist.
The second part adds “Mãezinha”, “Manhã de Sol”, “Não Demore Não”, “Odibaobaba” and “Bendito Seja”. The songs credit Saulo and collaborators across the compositions. As a result, the album expands his set of original tracks.
Production and concept
“‘Bênção’ is my ninth solo album. An Axé Music album with new songs we truly cherish. Produced by Adriano Gaiarsa, with collective arrangements by Adriano Gaiarsa, Alcione Rocha and Ronaldo Cavalcante, with me and the band. Mixed and mastered by Marcelus Leone. A home album, from our hearts to the hearts of those who listen. An album about FAITH in everything good that surrounds and blesses us, and FAITH in Bahia’s music.”
The album was produced by Adriano Gaiarsa. Arrangements were developed collectively by Gaiarsa, Alcione Rocha and Ronaldo Cavalcante, alongside Saulo and his band. Next, Marcelus Leone handled mixing and mastering.
