Saudades

Vasconcelos plays berimbau and percussion here, layered and overdubbed into something that feels both sparse and dense at the same time. The record is almost entirely rhythm and texture — there are no conventional songs, just sound organized in ways that feel intuitive rather than academic. It's one of those records that changes depending on how attentive you are when you put it on. Patient listening pays off.
