Originally released in 1988, A Festa É Nossa was the only album that São Paolo duo Grupo Controle Digital, aka Billy Jaguar and Gel Valiery, ever recorded together.

Its title track, ‘A Festa É Nossa’, was included in Soundway’s recent Onda De Amor ’80s-’90s Brazilian synth compilation, which is how the label found surviving member Jaguar.

A Festa É Nossa has been remastered from its original tapes, featuring replica album artwork.
