José Peixotom & Nuno Cintrão - Visita - Dialogos Com Carlos Paredes (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

In the year marking the centenary of acclaimed Portuguese composer Carlos Paredes, guitarists and composers José Peixoto and Nuno Cintrão pay tribute to the immortal legacy of his music. Building on the references, inspirations, and complicity of their work as the duo Combinatorium, with whom they released the album Fragmentos Imaginários (2023), the musicians now set out to explore and reinvent the sound universe of the master of the Portuguese guitar on the album VISITA: Dialogues with Carlos Paredes (VISIT: Dialogues with Carlos Paredes), which will be released on October 10 by Galileo Music.

Divided into two sections: VISITAS (VISITS) and DIÁLOGOS (DIALOGUES) - each with five songs -, this album has a first set of original songs by Carlos Paredes – like “Verdes Anos” and “Canto de Embalar” - with creative arrangements that show off the duo's identity. The second section features pieces composed based on the music of Carlos Paredes or popularized by the composer, such as the theme “Canto de Alcipe.”

“The creative process was quite simple and comes from our routine as a duo. We distributed the pieces and each of us structured our arrangements, leaving free space for each other's creativity. In rehearsals, we brought all the ideas together and developed them step by step. This allowed us to combine more structured ideas with spontaneous creative processes and improvisation until we reached the final point”, says José Peixoto.
