Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Cavaquinho' is the centerpiece of J煤lio Pereira's campaign to recover Portugal's half-forgotten traditional instruments, its twelve tracks built around the small four-string guitar of Braga. A close collaborator of Jos茅 Afonso from the late 1970s, Pereira extended the project with 'Braguesa' and 'O meu bandolim'.
