MISTÉRIO LARANJA VOL.2

Here is the second chapter of MISTÉRIO LARANJA (Orange Mystery), in the same spirit of exploration as the first but less focused on verbal expression. If the first volume "(...) is a feverish exercise in constructing branches between music and spoken word (...)," we'd have to say that the second chapter explores the borders between genres, improvisational dialects, and world music.
It is still a huge mystery to us, and we hope it is to you as well.
Four distinct minds, expressing themselves, trying to find a way to oneness—that's how I feel this record sounds. Constantly moving forwards and backwards, timeless just like a feeling, free as love, like a waterfall of meanings—because there will come a day when the mystery will be a little less.
