Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic berimbau-like synth patterns on the title track that bridge ancient tradition with 90s technology.
The sudden, bright shift into a funk-driven groove halfway through Quero ser teu funk.
The delicate, almost crystalline acoustic guitar work on Neve na Bahia that contrasts with its surrealist lyrics.
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.
