Emilio Santiago

A velvet voice drifting through late-night Rio, Mais Que Um Momento captures Emilio Santiago at his most intimate and cinematic. The album moves like a slow pan across cigarette smoke and neon—luxurious MPB soaked in soul, samba-jazz sophistication, and Santiago’s unmistakable romantic swagger.

Each track feels suspended in warm air: silky Rhodes chords, strings that glide like tidewater, percussion that whispers rather than strikes. Santiago doesn’t just sing melodies—he inhabits them, bending time with phrasing so effortless it borders on hypnotic.

This is Brazilian elegance with an edge: sensual, urbane, slightly dangerous around the corners. A record built for dim rooms, late hours, and anyone who wants their MPB with a touch of cinematic noir.

Not just a moment—an atmosphere.
