Background

edit

Há 10 Mil Anos Atrás has more mystical and introspective songs than Seixas' previous albums, such as "Canto para Minha Morte", "O Homem" and "Eu Nasci Há 10 Mil Anos Atrás". However, happier songs are present as well, such as "Os Números", "Eu Também Vou Reclamar" and "O Dia da Saudade". Also present in the album is an alternative, more electric guitar-oriented version of "As Minas do Rei Salomão", a track originally on Seixas' first album, Krig-Há, Bandolo!.

It was the last album by Seixas with Paulo Coelho as his songwriting partner, although they reunited in 1978 to record Mata Virgem, and his last album to be released by the Philips/Phonogram label.
