“An album that demands repeated playing… ”

“MOMO. is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, but those identifiers only scratch the surface of the power of his vision. If he wasn’t on your music radar before, he should be now.”

“I love it.”

“Gira, meaning ‘swing’ or ‘dance,’ is made for exactly that, shimmying grooves to move your hips.”

“MOMO. aka Marcelo Frota is one of the most exciting talents to emerge from Brazil in the past few years.”

“An essential artist for our times, bringing innovation and emotion in equal measures.”

“Gira is one of those exhilarating beyond-category albums which London produces uniquely well.”

“‘I haven’t listened to anything new coming from Portugal, except MOMO. whom I’ve been listening to a lot recently.’”

“Gira brings an unusual touch to the universe of the singer-songwriter genre.”

“Pára,” from the new album by Rio de Janeiro’s MOMO. gifts us with one of those “Stop what you’re doing and only listen to this” moments.”

“So many lives and places echoed in his music, imprinting it, as he says, with ‘different tones, colors.”

“Modern and monumental.”
