Knowing others is wisdom;

Knowing the self is enlightenment.

Mastering others requires force;

Mastering the self needs strength.



He who knows he has enough is rich.

Perseverance is a sign of willpower.

He who stays where he is endures.

To die but not to perish is to be eternally present.



Lao Tsé

Freitas também atuou no projeto Humaitá pra Peixe.



Em 2004, lançou seu único CD solo, com canções clássicas como "Doce de coco" (de Jacob do Bandolim e Hermínio Bello de Carvalho), "Beija-me" (Roberto Martins e Mário Rossi) e contemporâneas, como "Tranqüilo" (de Kassin) e "Cordeiro de Nanã" (Mateus e Dadinho), que foi escolhida para compor a trilha sonora da telenovela "Senhora do Destino".

"Thalma De Freitas "Thalma De Freitas" (EP) (EMI/Cardume, 2004)

Very nice! The daughter of '70s MPB/jazz fusion keyboardist Laercio De Freitas, Ms. De Freitas has a gorgeous voice, with crystal-clear tone and very precise diction; she glides atop these light, funky tunes, an easygoing, jazzy mix crafted by her father (who plays throughout) and modern indie-popster Kassin (perhaps best known for his work with Moreno Veloso). Kassin contributes the centerpiece of this 6-song EP, a light, bouncy, irresistible rumba-flavored tune called "Tranquilo." Her father's touch is heavy on the rest of the record, which is as much a showcase for his keyboards as it is for her voice, and drifts into some jazzy flights that recall Gal Costa's funkier albums of the mid-1970s. Veteran bassist Bebeto and drummer Wilson Das Neves round out this compact ensemble -- this disc is short, but it's sweet -- one of the best new Brazilian records I've come across in quite some time!"
