Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic interplay between the dry acoustic guitar strumming and the sudden, bright brass stabs on 'Nena nanã'
The shift from romantic yearning to a celebratory, swinging tempo in the final third of 'A princesa e o plebeu'
The way the percussion builds a hypnotic, circular momentum on 'Não desanima, João' beneath the comforting vocal melody
