Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, repetitive 'agua' chant in Alcohol that transforms a simple request for water into a spiritual incantation.
The sudden burst of brass and percussive intensity during the chorus of Bumbo da mangueira.
The rhythmic interplay between the dry acoustic guitar and the fluid bassline on Goleiro.
