UIRAPURU

The Cd UIRAPURU follows the chamber music style as the Cd DANÇAS BRASILEIRAS but focusing instead in the Brazilian music nuances and the diverse paths revealed by the Brazilian culture.
The tracks of the UIRAPURU have been written for a trio, where harmony, melody and rhythm mingle together. UIRAPURU is a tribute to the Amazonian chant, the lyric and mystical bird from the forest that enchants us all. BE HAPPY
