Featured Song:

“Na Beira da Praia” (By the Beach) is a samba soul track in the style of Jorge Ben that blends Brazilian rhythms with elements of funk and acoustic pop. “I open the window and see the world / It is intense and deep / What I want is to live / I get rejected and bounce back in a second / By the beach I sing and play my soccer / In life, the best of the fun is Carnival / The summer, friends, romance that brings the sun / Feeling the connection with nature.”
