DESCRIPTION

SOYUZ's third album Force of the Wind is a striking fusion of Brazilian music’s rich tradition and the sounds of present-day Belarus. The album draws heavy influence from 70s Música Popular Brasileira, echoing the emotional depth and expressive soul of classic artists like Milton Nascimento and Arthur Verocai. What’s fascinating is that this album was crafted far from Brazil, in Minsk, Belarus.

Led by Alex Chumak (composer, arranger, and singer), Mikita Arlou (multi-instrumentalist), and Anton Nemahai (drummer), SOYUZ blends acoustic and electroacoustic textures, with lush Rhodes piano, rich strings, and tight yet laid-back drums. The album includes both Russian and Portuguese vocals, alongside instrumental compositions that reveal the band’s eclectic approach. Guest appearances from artists like Kate NV and Sessa bring additional layers to the music.

Force of the Wind isn’t just a tribute to Brazilian music—it’s a bold, contemporary reimagining of its legacy, blending both vintage and modern elements seamlessly. It’s nostalgic, yet forward-thinking, creating an album that transcends cultural boundaries while still feeling intimately personal and profoundly emotional. It’s the kind of record you want to get lost in, one that invites you to press repeat.

This is the BLACK vinyl variant
