Hamilton de Holanda - Intimo
- Hamilton de Holanda’s “Intimo” is a relaxing album for those who savor superb instrumental potency. Holanda’s prowess on the mandolin is evident as he strums commandingly on each track whether it is at a lax pace or a frenzied one.
“Samba do Soho (Soho’s Samba)” has expeditive mandolin work that is incredibly proficient in its execution. Listeners will soften to the rhythm of this peaceful song and maybe even snatch up a partner to do a sensual boogie with.
On “Gratitude” the pace is more measured, as light strumming can be heard. This song has a carnal bend to it. Listeners might picture two people writhing together as they revel in the sheer gratefulness of being near one another.
With “Senhorinha (Little Lady)” a slower and sweeter tone takes over. This song could be one played in a movie where a flashback is occurring that details the past of a particular diminutive female who has now grown up to become a voluptuous woman. The expressive chords that Holanda strums humanize musically the vision of this girl.
“Intimo,” by Hamilton de Holanda, is a record that will speak to every listeners' soul with its passion and underlying intensity. If listeners wish to be transferred to a place where tranquility and serenity are sovereign, then “Intimo” is the ticket for them.
