With “Noites do norte,” the man from Bahia chooses to take us back to his country, through less-traveled roads and paths.
The work is indeed sometimes harsh, a bit wild and primitive, aimed at highlighting the African origins of a large segment of the Brazilian population.
Thus, we find ourselves facing compositions that are often dry, filled with many percussions, often counterbalanced by clear and sharp melodic lines.
All of this seems to clash, especially during the first listens, but then “Noites…” sneaks in like a “Cobra coral” and bites us, injecting a very sweet poison called feeling. (cit. kalporz.com)
