“Mestre Novo da Guiné” by Ricardo Bacelar: Where Rhythms Turn Into Something Spiritual
Richardo Baceler and Arito Moreira have together released a track, titled, “Mestre Novo da Guiné.” While Ricardo’s music feels grounded in Brazilian culture, with touches of jazz and classical influences, Arito, on this track adds a completely different weight through his music.
