Moments Worth Listening For
The delicate, almost whispered opening of Oração ao tempo where the guitar and voice become a single pulse.
The surprising transition into English for Fly Me to the Moon, delivered with a bossa-inflected swing.
The rhythmic complexity of the instrumental Treze de dezembro showcasing pure acoustic virtuosity.
