It is a compilation, a tribute of the musician to his beloved poets.
It’s not a record, or a book or a character is a closely guarded secret that has come loose, as the songwriter himself says about this project, Tiago Bettencourt. He has set itself the challenge of compile ancient poets, helped by friends who he invited to sing and do the illustrations for the book by Mario de Belém Put it this way, is a musical treasure. It is two in one. Listening the best Portuguese poetry captured by this discreet musical prodigy. The title does justice to this discography work. It is something so intimate that reminds me of the anatomy of the wanderings of Bruce Chatwin. It may seem odd and maybe there is no parallel, but let me disagree. The cave of the British writer is the lair of this Portuguese songwriter, where everything makes sense and nothing is superfluous. As this record. We return to the essentials a voice and a piano. Words and a guitar. This is not a lonely work, is made from the various solitudes of the poets who have described it. It is unique and recreates many songs known to the public. Listen! And ... do not pirate the record by the request of the artist, as sales accrue to an organization of social nature. But, do it mainly for the respect it deserves this magnificent work. To recall later.
