Canto de Xangô

Baden Powell played the violin as if it were a voice telling him stories. In Canto de Xangô, the violin speaks of a god, a chief, a king. The song is more than a rhythm, it is a song that moves between fire and wind. The melody goes and comes as if it were a river that never stops. The guitar feels like an echo of a world that is not here, but that can be heard. The song lasts four and a half minutes, but in that time something greater than time is lived. People listen to it a lot, more than 270 thousand times on Last.fm, but what matters is not the number, but how it sounds. It is a song that moves, that feels, that is played.
