Description
Saudade stirs deep within Musa’s soul. “Saudade” is an untranslatable Portuguese word—a longing for something that is gone: a lost person, a vanished moment, a departed place. It isn’t always for something good, but always for something that felt real. And who’s to say that saudade belongs only to the Portuguese or Brazilians? Certainly not Musa, who, to the sounds of the berimbau, is gnawed by the same feeling—saudade, a sadness with no escape, a sorrow from which there is no refuge.
