His albums were staples in hotels, lounges, and Caribbean households throughout the 1970s and 1980s, often released on small regional labels such as WIRL, Kalinda, or local independent imprints.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Trinidad pressing of \u003cem\u003eMoods\u003c\/em\u003e typically features solo piano with light rhythm‑section accompaniment, arranged in de Souza’s signature smooth, melodic style.
