The world's spinning so fast and faster each day. as an artist I try to keep myself attuned to the high levels of feelings, of noble values; universal love and all that can transform and transmute fragmented views into a harmonic world that have free minds, working on a free land, with equal rights for all different people, that can live in peace, that respect nature above all things and have only one language: of love.
I now present you my new "demo" with the recent songs I've been working on. I try to communicate with more people, in more places, and try to make only one voice sound: from the heart.
This recordings were made by me, in my home studio, looking fw my next album, with the intention of sharing as soon as possible my music, with all the ones that wish a besser vibration to our dear, beautiful planet.
I sign all the songs/lyrics, arrangements, guitars and vocals and Debora Saraiva recoded all percussion and drums. On the track "dulce melanie" I have the very special guests Gabriel Improta (solo guitars) and Rodrigo Villa (bass). Enjoy! :)
