Vitamina D is guitarist André Santos' third album, following Ponto de Partida (2013) and Mano A Mano (2014).

From the ...

André Santos: Ponto de Partida

There is something wonderful about watching a talented musician make the leap to bandleader and composer on record for the first time. Possibilities have yet to be closed off, the inspiration simply to showcase a personal take on the music they love, the budget not even contemplating high concepts, lavish orchestras, or if you're Rick Wakeman ...
