CAPÍTULO I – RAÍZES DE XISTO builds upon the foundation established in Alma Menor's debut album, EM TONS DE AGUARELA, elevating instrumental fusion to a realm where genre labels dissolve.

Em Tons de Aguarela

This debut album is the culmination of more than three years exploring the boundaries and expressive possibilities of the chromatic accordion and the bagpipes. A milestone in the fusion of both instruments, enriched by the personal touch of exceptional guest artists from the Portuguese music scene.
