Javadzadeh / Silva - "Rosa/Nagsh" EP 2025
Two singles release by the duo Pedram Javadzadeh and Nuno Silva.
We present an instrumental version of "Rosa das Rosas", one of the most famous pieces from the collection "Cantigas de Santa Maria", commissioned by king Alfonso X of Castilla in the 13th century, interpreted with intonation and decoration more akin to modern Iranian music.
The word "Naqsh" (meaning “role” or “image” in Farsi) in Persian carries two distinct meanings: a visual form or face, and a duty or function. The piece Naqsh is a musical narrative that explores a fundamental question: What is our role in this world? This question embraces both meanings — our appearance and our purpose.
Recorded at Pejvak Studios, Tehran, November 2024.
Mixed and mastered by Nuno Silva.

Gambuzinos - "Discussões com Jograis" CD 2020
“Discussões com Jograis” is the result of years of research and consolidation where Gambuzinos have put into their original interpretation of medieval and renaissance music. It’s a work unbounded by the rules of historical interpretation, rather it serves as a vehicle for each musician to express individually his own taste and, combined, to create an original view of ageless music.
All arrangements and instruments performed by Gambuzinos.
Produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Quico Serrano.
Released in September 2020

Nuno Silva - "Espiral" CD 2017
"Espiral" is an emotional and engaging album, filled with middle-eastern and mediterranean influences. It travels within the universe of traditional folk music with manifest originality,
it's rhythmically evolved, bursting with energy and compositions where the minimalist beauty of the melodies is expressed by the music's modal character."
