Moments Worth Listening For
The unmistakable Stevie Wonder harmonica solo that elevates the groove of Samurai into a cross-continental masterpiece.
The way the percussion locks with the percussive nylon-string guitar on Capim, creating a rhythmic tension that feels both light and heavy.
The soaring, almost spiritual vocal harmonies that resolve the chorus of Pétala.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
