O melhor lugar do mundo é aqui, E agora bis Aqui onde indefinido Agora que é quase quando Quando ser leve ou pesado Deixa de fazer sentido Aqui de onde o olho mira Agora que ouvido escuta O tempo que a voz não fala Mas que o coração tributa O melhor lugar do mundo é aqui, E agora bis Aqui onde a cor é clara Agora que é tudo escuro Viver em Guadalajara Dentro de um figo maduro Aqui longe em nova deli Agora sete, oito ou nove Sentir é questão de pele Amor é tudo que move O melhor lugar do mundo é aqui, E agora bis Aqui perto passa um rio Agora eu vi um lagarto Morrer deve ser tão frio Quanto na hora do parto Aqui fora de perigo Agora dentro de instantes Depois de tudo que eu digo Muito embora muito antes O melhor lugar do mundo é aqui

about

It is assumed that, besides being known as a lover of good music, I'm a novelist, and therefore should be able to write to a review, articulate sentences. However when listening to the record of Guillermo Rozenthuler and Edward Simon, I cannot come up with more than these loose words: simplicity, subtlety, truth, excellence, refinement, good taste, warmth and originality.
If this serves as an introduction to this record, so be it. If not, I can only say that it would be unforgivable to miss out on this gem of an album."

Diego Paszkowski - author

It was difficult to make a ‘desert island’ selection of Latin American songs. They are so many, so diverse and rich. I feel l left more out than the ones I could include. I went through some of my favorite composers and musical styles. I hope Agora is the first of many albums where I can include more beautiful songs and keep exploring this repertoire full of treasures.
There are some common themes in these songs. The moon. Love. Infinity, the dance with the unknown. Treasuring little moments. Memories written in the body. Nature and the wisdom of the Earth.
