"Vem Agosto, Vem Agosto" "(Come August, Come August)" is the twenty-seventh studio album by Portuguese American singer/songwriter Jorge Ferreira, released in 2003 on Portuguese Music World in America and Espacial in Portugal.

2003 was a year of big changes for Ferreira. He was produced artistically in France, but also discographically by signing a contract of 2 years with Portuguese-French producer Serge Fernandes, who is actual Ferreira's live keyboarder. Ferreira left definitely the Henda Records company and signed a contract of 3 years with distribution company East Coast Music Productions, located in Fall River. Recorded entirely in France, this album included the participation of French band Malaca Trio composed by Jean-Marc Debat (guitar), Sébastien Blanche (bass) and Sylvie Morais (vocals). "Vem Agosto, Vem Agosto" was a very original album and became the most folksy, with his frenzied latin rhythms. Love, spirituality and saudade are the feelings emanating from lyrics of some songs, all written by Elizabeth Marie.
