About Ecléctico

"Hearing a new and strange piece of music for the first time often opens a door that you didn't even know was there."
— David Byrne, musician and author of How Music Works


Hey there, I'm Armando. I'm a life-long music lover. I dig listening to the new and old, reading and talking about it, and sharing it with others. That's why Ecléctico exists.

Hi. This is me in a record store in a basement somewhere in Lisbon.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning, Ecléctico delivers a world of music and interesting music writing about it to your inbox, one song at a time.

The more music you discover, the more you get in return from your music streaming service. Your playlists, picks, and vinyl/CD purchases will be more diverse, exciting, global, and adventurous.

More eclectic.

Hack your ears and algorithms, fellow music lover, and subscribe to Ecléctico.
