Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following his pivotal role in Portugal's Carnation Revolution, José Mário Branco delivered one of his most musically expansive and lyrically profound works. The arrangements brilliantly incorporate jazz fusion complexities alongside traditional Fado and folk elements, mirroring the nation's cultural transition. 'Ser solidário' remains a towering achievement of Portuguese political songwriting and poetic introspection.
