While the machinery grinds to a halt, Unpunked Sound keeps the tradition alive: the gateway to Chapada opens through music. This is a true Christmas gift that, unlike the roadworks, arrives precisely on time at the final minute of Christmas Eve.
Forget the motorway chaos. In the dying moments of this 24/12, "Tunnel Unplugged" hits streaming platforms to prove that art knows no blockades. Slender and organic, the album is a visceral acoustic response to the dense, electric The Big Hug on the River. Where there were once gritty guitars, alternative rock now gains an "MTV-style" sophistication, featuring precise drumming, pianos, and the shimmer of steel-string acoustics.
Master musician Charbel Capilé brings a regional soul with his Viola Caipira (Brazilian ten-string guitar) on "The Ticket" and oversees the mastering, elevating the project to a new sonic level alongside Marcus Facchini’s drums. Led by Melón (songwriting, acoustic guitars, vocals, and piano) and Fabinho Boretti (bass and mixing), the lyrics—exploring the universe's action and reaction—create the perfect atmosphere for the road, festive parties, or a casual gathering with friends.
This is original alternative rock from Mato Grosso proving that, while the tarmac waits, the music delivers the destination.

A natureza sussurra no tempo... A comunicação? Na mesma levada, percebe? Só que a gente tá na surdina, uma galera alienada, nem sente o drama crescendo. A natureza avisa na calmaria, mas quando chega, chega pra derrubar o barraco todo, sem massagem. Catástrofe? A conta que não esperávamos, é dureza. Despertar agora pra real? Talvez a casa já caiu, a responsa pesa, e o futuro... enorme incógnita.” #unpunkedsound #riocuiaba #abraçoaoriocuiaba #stayunpunked
