Time of the Gypsies (1988)
First Kusturica movie I've ever watched. Left a long-lasting impression. Beautiful, quirky, and hilarious.

Verde, Anil, Amarelo, Cor de Rosa e Carvão (1994)
Only classics. This was the soundtrack of going to the beach with my family during my early teen years. I wrote a post about it.

Elis (1972)
The first LP to have Águas de Março. There are other pearls from Milton Nascimento as well. A must listen.

Dá licença meu senhor (1996)
I can only appreciate it, but I cannot comprehend how good his rhythm notion is. This record is packed with pieces of our traditional repertoire with unexpected twists – Caymmi (O Vento), Gil (Expresso 2222), Jobim (Desafinado), Rosa (Um gago apaixonado), and Barroso (No Tabuleiro da Baiana).

Mur Murs (1981)
I'm a big fan of Agnès Varda and her essay films. Mur Murs explores how murals in LA reflect migrant identities—reminding me of PIXO and São Paulo’s street art as resistance. Alongside Chris Marker (Sans Soleil), Varda shaped the genre with works like Les plages d'Agnès.

Solo In Rio (1959)
The sweet sound of the nylon strings of the classical guitar, specially in the hands of players like Luiz Bonfá are superb. This record has beautiful instrumental pieces with different examples of samba and choro rhythms.

#004: Pannierstraße's rooftop
Between 2018 and 2019, Kevin and I shared a flat that, despite the 5 long flights of stairs, had quite the bonus, and it was too good of a novelty.
