Pelourinho by Timothy James

This song comes inspired from the sounds of Salvador. The Historic Center of Salvador de Bahia in Brazil, also known as the Pelourinho, is a historic neighborhood in western Salvador, Bahia.
Salvador was the first colonial capital of Brazil and the city is one of the oldest in the New World (founded in 1549 by Portuguese settlers). It was also one of the first slave markets on the continent, with slaves arriving to work on the sugar plantations. The area is in the older part of the upper city (Cidade Alta) of Salvador. It encompasses several blocks around the triangular Largo, and it is the location for music, dining and nightlife. It has a place on the national historic register and was named a world cultural center by UNESCO in 1985.

Guitarist/Producer tim James Allen brings another contemplative & moody batch of instrumentals for his 3rd solo release “Breeze”; the Antibalas guitarist creates a meditative experience of interwoven patterns and counterpoint that tells a story through the movements.
