cool song, sweet guitar. play on sir. (<:

A great song with an excellent message; casting out the darkness and embracing the light--it takes work because "men love darkness more than the light".  The smooth jazz is a delightful listen.

wonderful song - great lyrics and vocals - top music !

Another wonderful musical journey with you José...Your talents hold no bounds.

This is so thoughtful and beautiful… Absolutely great lyrics and harmonic ideas.

EXPULSA AS TREVAS

Expulsa as trevas que há no coração!
Trevas assassinas.
Trevas de um ladrão.
Não deixes que essas trevas
guiem tua mão.
Segue a luz que há no coração!
Luz que é firmamento,
luz que é vida, luz que é vento,
luz que é Sol que me ilumina o entendimento.
Segue a luz que há no coração...

Luz e trevas lutam pela minha mão.
Foi-me dado escolher minha terra, meu povo.
E eu em cada escolha, cada decisão,
vou morrendo um pouco,
ou nascendo de novo.

Expulsa as trevas que há no coração!

Expulsa as Trevas

*** NOTE June 2024: Generative AI is becoming amazingly powerful. Nothing against it. Just to avoid the confusion and embarrassment of finding ourselves praising and encouraging mindless algorithms, I believe it would be nice for us to always disclose its usage in our tracks. What do you think?  ***

I've been making music with Pedro Castro since 1972. At the time, we created the alternative rock band Petrus Castrus. The music I'm placing here are just the home recordings of ongoing projects and ideas. I created a few playlists (Inéditos) according to language (PO - Portuguese; EN - English; SP - Spanish; FR - French; IT - Italian), and also for concept albums (Três Jardins). There are two long tracks (Mediterrâneo and Isaías) for full concept albums. A playlist called Synergies gathers the collaboration projects with other musicians in the fantastic SoundCloud community.

Petrus Castrus edited records can be found on Spotify and Soundcloud. See the Facebook Petrus Castrus page for more details, including comments about the recordings uploaded here. 

We are both amateur musicians, i.e. music lovers. As for me, I'm just an electrical engineer with a master in AI that really loves creating music and use it to share ideas. That is why all tracks include lyrics or texts.

Enjoy!
