In celebration of Carlos Paredes' 100th birthday, Ben Chasny and Norberto Lobo join forces to honor the legacy and influence of the master of the Portuguese guitar.

Ben Chasny is responsible for introducing an entire international generation to Carlos Paredes. He dedicated him the song "Lisboa", in 2005, and engineered the cross-border reissue of the albums "Guitarra Portuguesa" (1967) and "Movimento Perpétuo" (1971) by Drag City, in 2011. With Six Organs of Admittance, he has been building a long and prolific discography with more than thirty titles released. As for Norberto Lobo, in addition to being an admirer, he has a bit of Paredes in him. His debut album, "Mudar de Bina" (2007) is dedicated to him, in an allusion to the song "Mudar de Vida".
