Summary:
An album of Brazilian syncretism, combining European, Indigenous and African themes. Subtitles of each track refer to legends or other expressions rooted in Indigenous, Yoruba, or Moorish traditions. Each track is a little story or expression. The titles (Toque (tap) or Canto (sing)) relate to folk music (Indigenous, African, European and Brazilian), because folk music cannot survive without touching (kicking, stamping, clapping hands or playing and instrument) or singing.
