His skillful performance transported the audience into a captivating world of rhythmic spell and musical unity. Thanks to Lisboa Mistura organizers for the enriching platform and the gracious invitation to play. Appreciation for the opportunity to contribute to the diverse musical tapestry at Lisboa Mistura.
