"Como Este Mundo Mudou" "(As This World Moved)" is Portuguese American singer/songwriter Jorge Ferreira's twenty-sixth studio album, released in 2002 by Portuguese Music World in America, Espacial in Portugal and Ruiz Sr. Import C.A. in Venezuela.

This album was produced with Marc Soucy, a producer from Boston. This one gave to this successful album his American influences. So of all, this was Ferreira's most Americanized album, as well on the musical level as on the lyrical level. One of these influences is the song “Minha Segunda Mãe” which refers to 11 September 2001, performed with half in Portuguese and English.But this album was very different in comparison with other previous. Probably the most critical and polemical, it gave a very personal vision of the worldwide events which occurred in this beginning of third millennium. A big considered writing work was developed by Ferreira during its realization. Each song has its history or its lived, and an opinion is brought to each conclusion.

The song "Somos Iguais Somos Irmãos" in duet with Brazilian Portuguese-Venezuelan singer Carlos Kanto is about the war in Afghanistan.

The song "Aldeia Da Paz" is about the orphanage Aldeia Da Paz, located in Santa Cruz, Madeira Island. A part of the sales revenues of this album was versed in donation to this foundation.

Marc Soucy's arrangements were made in Boston, at his studio Marc Soucy Music Productions.About musicians, the local songwriter Richard London performed on keyboards and background vocals.
