Madredeus and the spirit of the peace
I’ve lately been listening a lot to the music of Madredeus, in particular the wonderful “o espirito da paz”. The music and lyrics of Pedro Ayes Magalhaes and the unique voice of Teresa Salgueiro are truly spellbinding. Though I have enjoyed all the songs in the album, most of the gentle and soft, my favorite is still the more energetic “O Pastor” with its amazing cello. The lyrics are so dreamy, that I could not resist reproducing their translations here. If you’ve never heard “O Pastor” before, I strongly suggest you do. You can get a taste of it from amazon.
