Camiel started a musical journey. He studied Brazilian music and got inspired by legends like Ernesto Nazareth. On this album he even arranged two classics: ‘Brejeiro’ and ‘Fon-fon’. He learned to play Cavaquinho, Mandoline and Berimbau. Camiel: ‘after eight years of hard work, the album is finally ready. Listen to a collection of songs not only about the desire to see what is behind the horizon but also about how displaced you can feel once you passed this line that until then had felt like the end of the world, como Finisterra…”
