Somnambulista is the second album by Brazzaville, released in 2001.[3]
Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "while the music is reassuring and enveloping like the lapping waves of a tropical beach, listen closely to the lyrics lying just under the surface of the saxophone-led music and you hear sad, if poetic, tales of broken lives."[1] Exclaim! thought that "as the album progresses, we phase in and out of hazy vibes, jazzy licks and pop tinged varieties with a fluidity that is practically shocking."[4]
