From: Steve Jackson (Irving Tx.)
Question:

Of all your music, this is my favorite. My question is. What was your inspiration for the piece, and what does the name mean? The song is so spellbinding that I could listen to all the time. And I do!

All the best! And look foward to seeing next time your in Dallas!

Pat’s Answer:

that was one of those tunes where the melody just kind of showed up - i barely even remember writing it, it just was always there or something. the name is a portuguese/brasilian word that refers to a strong wind that comes across the atlantic from africa. thanks steve!
