The second CD (Argila) of the Brazilian guitar player, Andre Martins, marks the start of Black Records' activities.

Andre, who is known as one of Brazil’s great guitarists, brings us a set list that departs from traditional guitar albums (those with endless guitar solos that ignore other instruments). Instead, it is an almost “visual” album influenced by the artist’s second passion, literature, which leads its listeners into a soundtrack-like journey.
