what it means to be heard

Rearranging albums from the last year over the weekend. Gave a good kick-off for the upcoming days. If you still haven't heard, make sure you do hear it now. Akua Naru. Powerful music espresso under 3 minutes. That's what I call a new start. Monday vibes.



The video was directed by Double Rush. Make sure to get Akua's The Miner's Canary album here.

samadhi vibes | zen vibes

There is a musician on the streets of Cascais. Exploring sounds and spreading good vibes. Also sharing a good talk. Kabeção Rodrigues. A zen handpan master.

peekaboo | here's my hideout

Well, there's nothing more joyous than having a chat in a record store with its stuff and discovering some good sounds. From word to word, from artist to artist, from video to video. Here's Zagi teaming up with oly. Surreal. All those sketches in my head fall now into one piece with sounds becoming visual. All that in my hometown. My summer hideout.



The video was created by Joanna Goldman and Maciek Gradkowski. For more sounds from Zagi please click here.

é tanta luz aqui | claridade

Good vibes. Good People. A little bit on hiatus in here. But so much present out there. Out there. The most good vibes moment of the year: meeting Aline Frazão and her fantastic band. Clarity.
