Luz ("Light" in English) is the fifth studio album by Brazilian singer and songwriter Djavan, released on August 20, 1982, by CBS Records. Stevie Wonder is featured on the song "Samurai."
Background
In the early 1980s, American record producer Quincy Jones bought the publishing rights to some of Djavan's music, among other Brazilian musicians.
In 1982, Djavan was invited to the United States by CBS Records (now Sony Music) to record an album for an American audience. There, he was introduced to producer Ronnie Foster and musician Stevie Wonder, the latter of whom recorded "Samurai" with him in Los Angeles. Although the album did not sell exceptionally well in the U.S., it had sold 500,000 copies in Brazil by the fall of 1984.
Critical reception
Alvaro Neder, writing for AllMusic, gave the album four out of five stars.
