Moyses Dos Santos is a new face on our blog, as his song "Brazilian Spirit" really caught my attention. He is a Brazilian bassist, composer and producer. "Brazilian Spirit" is on his debut album, Maria. It is a collaboration with Theo Croker, a Grammy-nominated trumpeter, composer and producer.
The song opens with a bold piano solo, followed by a dreamy choir and a well-supporting bassline, played by Moyes Dos Santos himself. Theo Croker adds a gentle trumpet melody on top, which I think gives the song the perfect balance. By the end, everything kind of mixes together; it's very full, but definitely not overwhelming. I would call it a perfect balance.
Honestly, if this is what Brazil sounds like, I am buying my one-way ticket as soon as possible. If you feel the same way, add this track to your playlist right now.
