After winning several local singing contests as a young man, he quickly realized that breaking into Peru’s music industry — especially as an artist from “the end of the world” — would not be an easy path. So he focused on his studies, becoming a teacher in a rural town near the Brazilian border, quietly…
The third album by the legendary Bahian trio, originally released in 1975 on Odeon and finally back on vinyl. One of the most spiritually charged records to emerge from Brazil during the military dictatorship years. Hold on to your hats.

Framed by Almodóvar’s saturated, performative world, Ryuichi Sakamoto’s score for Tacones Lejanos (High Heels), newly reissued by Quartet Records, layers melancholy minimalism and luminous melodrama, offering ornament rather than excess, with bolero and chanson threading through Sakamoto’s reflective atmospheres. The soundtrack’s architecture is subtle, emotionally surgical, quietly powerful in its dialogue with Luz Casal’s iconic voice.
