Tirami Su (1987) continued Di Meola’s infatuation with MPB. This time around Airto Moreira wasn’t available, which led the guitarist to a fruitful collaboration with singer and songwriter Zé Renato . The Brazilian composer spent one month in New York City jamming and recording, doing mostly non- lyrical vocalizations to the music. Zé Renato then toured with the Al Di Meola Project across Europe and the USA. Tirami Su also featured guest singer Clara Sandroni, whom Di Meola discovered through Milton Nascimento’s Encontros e Despedidas (1985).
