One day in Rio in 1986 Bruno came back from the beach and, finding Geo in the apartment, said “I just wrote some lyrics, let’s write a song!” Geo got the guitar, Bruno began singing and, after a few back-and-forth suggestions regarding chords and melodic structure, “Depois Da Praia” was ready in under 20 minutes. For this updated and different new arrangement, Bruno was determined to only use the bass drum and snare to power the song, omitting the usual hi-hat. The Emax electronic drum sampler was once more used with the shaker setting replacing the hi-hat and congas performed on electronic pads by Geo. Paulo André Mosmann, a Bahian bassist living in Rio, remembers: “Everyone was really vibing during the recording of this song, people dancing and singing, the great atmosphere in the studio was really contagious.”
