Lotus 72 D by Zé Roberto is finally available — featuring both versions: the original and the fast cut. Whether you prefer the classic or the pitched-up tempo popularized by the Via Brazil compilation from 2001, the choice is yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZé Roberto (aka Joaquim Roberto Braga) is a composer, singer, and instrumentalist rooted in Brazilian folk traditions. Lotus 72 D is his tribute to legendary Formula 1 driver Emerson Fittipaldi, who won the world championship in 1972.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe track was originally recorded in 1973 under RCA\/Victor, with artistic coordination by Henrique Gastaldello and arrangements by Severino Filho. The original recording’s lineup of musicians remains undocumented, as they were hired session players through the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, Roberto himself was unaware of the widely circulated “fast version” of the song, which emerged from the Via Brazil compilation. That version had been pitched up, creating a distinct sound that became beloved among collectors and DJs — yet was impossible to obtain in official form... until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis special reissue makes both tempos available, fully remastered and preserved from original sources. All musical rights remain with the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Side\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZé Roberto – Lotus 72 D (Original Version) – 03:12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB Side\u003cbr\u003e2.
