QUE BOM is primarily composed of original melodies by Bollani, as well as distinctive melodies influenced by Brazilian music culture, which Bollani has always cherished since the beginning of his rich and multifaceted "crackerjack" career, making music and playing with great talent. QUE BOM is a true anthem to life, marked by sparkling vivacity and contagious joy. S. Bollani is joined here by the same exceptional rhythm section as on the CARIOCA album. We find Jorge Helder (db), Jurim Moreira (dr), and Armando Marçal (perc), plus Thiago da Serrinha (perc), but here on QUE BOM, we also discover guest stars like Caetano Veloso, João Bosco, Jaques Morelenbaum, and Hamilton de Holanda. The CD packaging, a 6-panel DigiSleeve, is elegant and extremely well designed graphically, with an 8-page booklet whose concept and artistic supervision were carried out by the Italian actress and artist Valentina Cenni. It contains the lyrics of the songs with Caetano Veloso and João Bosco, photos of the joyful recording session in Rio by Vinícius Giffoni, and extraordinary images from the Codex Seraphinianus by the Italian artist and designer Luigi Serafini. QUE BOM, entirely produced by Stefano Bollani, is the first album to be released worldwide by his newly created label ALOBAR on May 25, 2018.
