11. Canção | Carlos Paredes | Movimento Perpétuo (1971)
This short and simple piece, which brings the record to its end, seems to carry the theme of Verdes Anos, much like his other piece Frustração.

9. Mudar de Vida – Música de Fundo | Carlos Paredes | Movimento Perpétuo (1971)
This piece was composed for Paulo Rocha’s film Mudar de Vida (1966 imdb), for whom Carlos Paredes had already composed the truly iconic theme to Os Verdes Anos (1963 imdb), which has been on this blog. If you know it well by now, the next song I’m posting will surely bring a smile to your face.

1. Movimento Perpétuo | Carlos Paredes | Movimento Perpétuo (1971)
Carlos Paredes’ recordings are notorious not only because he had a thousand fingers, but also for his deep, tense breathing before defining chords or passages. The reason, I believe, was the immense physical strain he put on his instrument to get the clear, defining sound he desired. To this day, no other guitarist has been known to play more strongly than Carlos Paredes.
