Unusual,strong way of expression.
author: Dora Farias.The CD is very impressive.I think only people who have the ability to play freely, will know how powerfull this is.A very unique combination of rhythm and fusion.
This is an authentic Brazilian song
author: Andrea DavisThis CD is a fantastic combination of the native Brazilian rhythmus and good jazz.
Speed, cords, improvisational, fusion ...
This CD is a great musical achievement. The CD is full of hard to duplicate cords, uncomparable speed and improvisational ability that i haven't seen anywhere else.
Incredibly talented with words expressed in song.
author: Danyelle FariasThe Cd was a demonstration of words of people which are mostly not spoken. I think the music is very unique and different but can reach to many audiences from old to young even people all over the world. Overall the Cd was very impressive and instrumentally over powering.
