About me

I am a folk singer and songwriter with a craving for infertil soils, such as that of my homeland of Alentejo - a region which takes up a third of Portugal's area. But I am in no way a christian, evangelic or preacher - though I like quite a lot of gospel music, both portuguese and not so.

About my collections

They're eclectic, a great brazilian (in my view of things) put it best: there are many ways of playing music and I prefer them all (Torquato Neto dixit)- that's pretty much my approach to all my accumulations of likings - I have no specific dislikes residing with me - but then I so often reside anywhere else but where I fear to be *here* , you know?
I'm harmless, really. And witha taste I wish is not (only) of my own.
