“Of Fragility and Impermanence” is out!

It's with great joy that I finally share my newest album “Of Fragility and Impermanence” now available on most digital streaming platforms. Accompanying the release is a promo video, created by my dear friend and fantastic director Bruno Carnide.

“Of Fragility and Impermanence” is my reflection on fragility, change and passing of time. The album is out on Robalo Music and it has the support of Fundação GDA, Antena2 and Centro Musibéria, featuring José Soares, Raquel Reis, Samuel Gapp, João Hasselberg and myself.
