The third album from this one-man-band from Brazil.
Rafael Senra did the bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals here.
A guest added drums on two tracks.
I have yet to be won over by this artist based on the two meandering first albums. They are decent enough but the quality left a lot to be desired.
I did not have much hopes for Cobra Sofia E....... in other words.
The album has four long songs about myths and stories from the Amazon river, the longest river in the world. A very lush area.
The music is indeed very lush indeed. Some of it is more folky pop. But most of it is symphonic prog, South American symphonic prog.
There is a lot of local colours and tribal rhythms here too. The guitar solos are long and really cool. Ditto for the good vocals.
There are also some retro keyboards here. Keyboards which takes us back to the 1970s Brazilian and Argentine symphonic prog scene.
It feels like Rafael Senra has found his level, his home on this album. It is his best album to that date and surely his breakthrough album.
Check out this album.
