Neto
Available Digitally
The Neto style - throwing away the plectrum and using thumbnail and four fingers to create chords and octaves that surf on top of melodies that take up permanent residence in your subconscious - is unique to the man in the bandana with the buccaneer's earring. Blending the vibrant harmonies of his native Brazil with the energy and attack of his adopted California, José has created psychedelic music inspired by Brazil and informed by a West Coast consciousness. The presence of his fellow members of Fourth World - Airto Moreira, Flora Purim and Gary Meek - ensures that the genius of José's playing is matched by the company it keeps. Zakir Hussein on tablas conjures up the mysticism of the east while adding its own melodic texture to the new pychedelia . Neto is an album that announces more than the arrival of a great guitar player. These are songs that will travel with you.
