Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting vocal duet with Mercedes Sosa on Volver a los 17 where two continental icons merge into one spirit.
The rhythmic, percussive drive of Circo Marimbondo that feels like a village celebration breaking out spontaneously.
The way the acoustic guitar mimics the slow, heavy gait of an oxcart on Carro de boi.
