Years ago when I started writing songs, I only wrote them in Spanish. Then, along the way, I stopped and only wrote them in English. It's been years since I've written a song in my native tongue so I'm pretty excited about this song. It's called "La mórbida luz." I really hope you dig it, even if you don't speak Spanish.

La mórbida luz (no trumpet version)

"É Preciso Perdoar" was written by Alcivando Luz and Carlos Coqueijo. João Gilberto recorded it and released it on his 1973 self-titled album known as the "white album" (he has another self-titled album from 1961).

I'm pretty sure he was the first one to record this song. I'm not sure if Alcivando and Coqueijo wrote it specifically for him. It is one of my favorite Gilberto recordings, and that's saying a lot.

This here is my homemade attempt at playing this beautiful number. I hope you dig it.

É Preciso Perdoar

Ser del mar que nada
al ritmo de ola tan pasmada,
al ver la falla del ayer.
Arropa la corriente con su
ancla en el coral,
al ver el agrio tren pasar.

Se entrampa en el escollo
del croquis
y se resigna al desecho fértil.

Esa trampa no le hará sufrir
y esa tarde no le hará sentir
la agonía de la desnudez.
Rompe el faro para no volver
y arruina la cosecha.

Ser de la esfera que vuela
al ritmo de la madrugada
ya ve el vaivén de la piel.
Por más que aletea
ya no se puede sostener.
Se cae en la granja de la sed.

Se embriaga de semillas
del erial
y se entrega a la tierra pestífera.

Ser del mar

Written by Carlos Lyra and Vinicius de Moraes.

Chloe Smith, Leah Song and David Brown from Rising Appalachia have created a beautiful track with Vir McCoy and Evan Fraser of The Dogon Lights

"Water She Dances" with Rising Appalachia

"Wider Circles" is the newest album from Rising Appalachia. With influences of folk, soul, roots, world music, and poetry, the album showcases the alchemy of sibling harmonies paired with banjo and fiddle duets. The album was inspired by folk standards and traditional hymns, old mountain odes, and activist anthems that pull equally from the swampy sounds of the bayou, the twang of the Appalachian mountains, and the beat of a global rhythm.

Find Your Way

Tatuagem

Te vi entre tus odios
 para descifrar y excavar, sin perder,
pues un fósil, contra rocas en tierra,
revela la línea total. 

Le di al lienzo sucio
un poquito de azul deslizando un prado
marfil manso que, versus el pincel furioso,
cancela la nube mortal.

En la odisea, vía el son
de La Parguera,
surge una tez luminosa
que nos aguanta.

Es obvio que la esperanza
se derrite al quemar mapas en el bosque
que me aísla y, sin el tono afinado,
demuela la torre troncal.

Y estamos esperando
por un esquema perfecto empapado en el
criterio ajeno que, durante el trance abreviado,
nivela la tierra noval.

Recorded this on my old iPhone. This Jarabe de Palo song is a staple of my early teens.

Meditação

I recorded this on my phone back in May. I wasn’t planning on uploading it but it’s been almost a month since I put something on SoundCloud, so I figured I post this. I’m doing a version similar to Lisa Ono’s which in turn is similar to Astrud Gilberto’s version from 1965.
