Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic repetition of the 'Banda Um' chorus where the rhythm section locks into a global folk-dance groove.
The stripped-back, vulnerable acoustic intimacy of 'Drão' that feels like a private conversation in a quiet room.
The infectious, faith-affirming swing of 'Andar com fé' where the percussion feels like a heartbeat.
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.
