This campaign is intended to support the recording and editing of Victor Castro's third CD entitled "Açor". This CD contains unpublished arrangements of music of some songwriters of the Azores Islands, as well as pieces originally written for guitar.

The adaptation and writing of this repertoire for the classical guitar is a way of perpetuating and disseminating these themes and their composers. There is a dialogue between the qualities inherent to the guitar and the music chosen, you can say that both win. This work also shows a little of the creativity and versatility of some of the composers of the Azores and of this interpreter, also Azorean. On the cover, the painting done in silk cloth and all the graphic design was in charge of Claus Alves da Silveira. The photograph is by Jorge Monjardino. The recording and mastering was done by Zé Miguel Fernandes at Estudio Record Puzzle Music.
