Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected transition into the Neapolitan classic Funiculì, funiculà delivered with gravelly flamenco grit
The percussive breakdown in Canto a Brazil where the rumba beat seamlessly adopts a samba swing
The sprawling seven-minute climax of Amor gitano where the guitars reach a fever pitch of rhythmic intensity
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.
