about

Espírito, which means "spirit" in Portuguese, is a song composed by Alper Tuzcu using samba rhythms and elements of Western African rhythms on guitar.

Espírito, featuring Brazilian vocalist Jasmine on the vocals, was influenced by Brazilian samba and Uruguayan candombe styles. Inspired by the famous Brazilian composers Caetano Veloso and Vinicius da Moraes, the song has been mixed and mastered by a Grammy-winning team.

The song was mixed by Ricardo Mosca, known for his work with Grammy-winning artists such as ANAVITÓRIA and Jorge Drexler. Mastering was done with Carlos Freitas, who also worked with Grammy Award winners such as João Gilberto, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Omara Portuondo.

lyrics

O fogo me conta uma história
ouço a música de um tambor
para entender a sabedoria
abro a caixa de meu coração

O fogo tem uma cara e fala
comigo com palavras sagradas
no lugar onde estava perdido
minha alma se encontra de novo

Sonhos estão se acumulando
No meu caderno essas palavras
esta música é meu guia
é minha dor, e minha alegria

O fogo tem uma cara e fala
comigo com palavras sagradas
no lugar onde estava perdido
minha alma se encontra de novo
