José Valente - Serpente Infinita

Review by Darren Marlar

José Valente's latest album, Serpente Infinita, is a mesmerizing collection of tracks that showcase the Brazilian musician's exceptional skill on the guitar. The album's title track, "Serpente Infinita," is a hauntingly beautiful piece that features Valente's intricate fingerpicking alongside ethereal vocal harmonies. The album's other tracks, such as "Caminho das Águas" and "Oferenda," are equally impressive, with Valente effortlessly blending classical guitar techniques with elements of Brazilian folk music.

Throughout the album, Valente's playing is nothing short of masterful, with each note and chord ringing out with clarity and precision. His compositions are complex and layered, yet never feel overwrought or showy. Instead, they are imbued with a sense of soulful simplicity that is both captivating and deeply moving.
