A Musician on the Rise

My "virtual" friend Eneias, from Jaragua, Santa Catarina, Brazil, is coming to Australia to perform with me in April.

We've never met, but I can get a sense of what he is like, from his Facebook posts.

My impression is that he's a hard-working musician and songwriter, who is keen to elevate his career.

He regularly posts information about where and when he will next be performing.

He has recorded some songs (including some of his own compositions) using his own equipment, and he is producing a CD.

I admire this sort of initiative.  It's good to see someone making his own "luck".  I can imagine that the music industry in Brazil would be very competitive.  I'm hoping that his visit to Australia will be as valuable for him as I'm hoping it will be for me.

And suddenly he posts a video clip, to accompany a song he's released, "Sou de Santa Catarina" ("I am from Santa Catarina").  I'm very impressed!
