Brazilian virtuoso guitarist Plínio Fernandes presents his latest EP, Cinema. Marking his first foray into the world of film music, Plínio pays tribute to iconic works of the last 60 years. From the fabled and heart-wrenching “Moon River” composed by Henry Mancini (whose centennial is being celebrated in 2024), to the bright buoyancy of Joe Hisaishi’s “Merry-Go-Round of Life” (of the acclaimed Studio Ghibli films), Plínio celebrates the magic of the silver screen through his signature, soul-stirring sound.
