Moments Worth Listening For
The defiant shift in 'Para Lennon e McCartney' where the local cowboy identity clashes with Western pop influence.
The haunting, descending vocal melody in 'A felicidade' that mimics a falling tear as the percussion fades.
The lush, cinematic string swell that opens 'Canto latino' before dropping into a grounded, rhythmic folk stomp.
