A DROP IN THE OCEAN, AN OCEAN IN A DROP

This Brasilian musician is a multi-instrumenalist: he plays piano, flute, guitar and bass and also uses a wide range of guest musicians (playing instruments from Moog and sitar to oboe and percussion). Most of the 19 songs on this CD are mellow and dreamy acoustic folk with fine interplay between flute, acoustic guitar, flute, violin, sitar or saxophone. Some tracks sound more as symphonic rock: the dynamic Terral with swirling flute, violin and Mellotron waves, the King Crimson (Red-era) inspired The Hunt (fiery sax and electric guitar) and A Drop In The Ocean (delivering piano, sax and Moog flights). I was very pleased with the warm Spanish guitar, blended with violin and flute on Bamidbar. For me this is a beautiful folk-oriented CD with some symphonic compositions.
