Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic interplay between the triangle and the accordion on the title track that sets a frantic, joyful pace.
The sudden shift to a more soulful, slowed-down groove in 'Norte da Saudade' that highlights Gil's aging, graceful vocal.
The way the fiddle and accordion lock into a tight, circular melody on 'Aprendi Com o Rei' that feels like a folk trance.
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.
