Mr. Wollogallu - Carlos Maria Trinidade & Nuno Canavarro (1991)

A recent BC reissue of a collaborative project between two well-travelled Portugese musicians.

This is pretty firmly in the “new age” category: pleasant and well-played, but maybe not particularly challenging. But if the point is to make beautiful music, they’ve succeeded.

This is one of those seminal recordings for the future of minimal, instrumental, and downtempo music, both synthetic and organic

Trinidade would eventually be part of Madredeus (o_O, though he wasn’t on that particular album)
