é Noite" Digipak CD 2007

Íon (Ireland)
"Madre,
Protégenos" Digipak CD 2006

the apparently all-encompassing definition of World Music
falls short in defining the ethereal moods that "Madre, Protégenos"
comes to reveal.
[ EQM010 ]

"Shining
Silver Skies" Digipak CD 2006

naïve Folk spirit occasionally.
