Nada Te Perturbe

Inspired by the poem written by St. Teresa of Ávila and belonging to the first female saint recognised by the church, the first track of the EP “Nada Te Perturbe” (Nothing Shall Disturb You) features a message that has remained relevant for centuries. As the title suggests, the composition’s central theme is the message of the love of Jesus, which overpowers all hardships, bringing serenity and faith to the believers.

“Nada Te Perturbe” combines the voice of Marta Alves and the traditional Portuguese guitar of Rui Poço with the modern electronic arrangement of Diego Miranda and the creator of the project, Padre Guilherme. In the melodic piece, the authentic spirit of fado merges with the up-to-date sounds of melodic techno to transport the listeners to a place of faith, where the chaos of the outside world fades away.

The song invites the listener to reflect on their own spiritual journey, emphasising the importance of finding comfort in faith and patience in times of conflict and frustration.

The poem of St. Teresa of Ávila, to which the lyrics of ” Nada Te Perturbe “ are inspired, speaks about the constant changes that happen to humans in their lifetime and stresses the importance of keeping a firm belief in God regardless of the challenges they encounter in life. The same message of the song ” Nada Te Perturbe ” is a call for listeners to stay strong in their faith in God, finding peace in their hearts and being comforted by the words of Jesus, which never fade away. Despite the numerous hardships, God’s love is always with us, bringing us hope and helping us realise that nothing shall disturb our minds and souls if we trust in our faith and the power of Jesus.

30 Moedas De Prata – When the Money Talks Louder Than Love, Friendship, and Humanity

“30 MOEDAS DE PRATA” is the second track of the EP, which features the author’s poem and reflects on the value of the thirty coins of silver that Judas received for betraying Christ. “30 Moedas De Prata” tells the story of a world where money talks louder than love, friendship, and faith.

“30 Moedas De Prata” repeats the successful formula of the first composition of the EP, uniting the voice and the Portuguese guitar of Marta Alves and Rui Poço and the electronic arrangement of Padre Guilherme and Diego Miranda, blending the spirit of fado with the energetic sounds of melodic techno.

The composition invites the listeners to reflect on the meaning of life and the impact their actions have on the world around them. According to the lyrics of ” 30 Moedas De Prata “, the world is changing, and individuals are more obsessed than ever with achieving success and becoming famous. Unfortunately, many people have forgotten the fundamental values of humanity, faith, and love, choosing money and popularity over love and honesty. However, not only are the fundamental principles of Christianity, including faith and love, eternal, but they also have the power to change the world for the better.

“30 Moedas De Prata” references the Bible verse from Corinthians, Chapter 1, verse 18, which says that the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved, it is the power of God. The song sums up the main motifs of the EP, emphasising the importance of faith and its impact on believers’ lives.

The track reflects on the idea that love and faith can express themselves in various ways, including through human interactions and relationships. In a world where people are more interested in achieving personal goals and accumulating wealth than in building strong and loving communities, “30 Moedas De Prata” promotes the message of universal love and compassion that can be found in all major religions.

It makes the listeners reflect on their own life choices, asking themselves if they value love and humanity as much as they value money, power, and popularity.

When the Soul of Fado Meets the Energetic Sounds of Melodic Techno

“Fado” by Padre Guilherme and Diego Miranda continues the tradition of blending electronic music with traditional Portuguese sounds, uniting the rich heritage of Fado with the contemporary vibes of melodic techno. By introducing the authentic sounds of fado and the traditional Portuguese guitar to the modern audience, the EP breaks the borders of the music genre, creating a unique blend that appeals to fans of electronic dance music and traditional folk.

The two-track project explores the motifs of the human faith, love, and the fundamental values of humanity, reflecting on the spiritual journey of individuals in the modern world. “Fado” proves that electronic music genres, such as melodic techno, can be a perfect tool for promoting the traditional music heritage, interpreting its sounds and vibes in a new way while preserving their original meanings and essences.
