“'Não Negue Ternura' is a partnership with the Bahian artist and composer Luedji Luna. We arrived in São Paulo at the same time, me from Pernambuco and she from Bahia. I have played in some of her shows and she in some of mine. In her show that took place at Ibirapuera's auditorium, we wrote this song. It talks about love, acceptance, affection... About overcoming barriers alongside people who make you stronger,” tells Zé Manoel.
