Description
Head past the lasciviousness, raw power and spectacle of baile funk and tecnobrega, and the ever-present samba grooves and you will find a mini-revolution is happening in Brazil. Pop music is being crafted with melody, wit and invention. At the heart of it all is Lucas Santtana. Sobre Noites e Dias, is his sixth album and third to be released outside of Brazil. Working with a variety of collaborators, the Bahian-born singer's latest continues where his last record, The God Who Devastates Also Cures, left off. Once again he combines the acoustic with the electronic, switching between reflection and something more visceral, the hustle of the city followed by the countryside's gentle whisper. Recorded in Brazil as well as Paris, the new album features collaborations with French actress Fanny Ardent on the hypnotic "Human Time" and French rapper Féfé on the African-infused 'Diary of a Bike'; with members of São Paulo's afro-punks Metá-Metá embellishing many of the tracks; and another French ally, renowned cellist Vincent Segal, on the contemplative 'Blind Date'. Rio's tecnobrega innovator Omulu and the German DJ and producer Daniel Haaksman provide their assistance on one of the album's stand-outs, 'Funk dos Bromanticos'. It's the perfect example of Santtana's polycultural method of making music.
