Lyrics | | touching on social and environmental issues in both Brazil and Cape | | Verde, as well as reflections on modern life, weave between the songs | | in Loubet's native Portuguese. Initially inspired by a recent period | | of living in Bahia, Brazil, interacting and working with local | | musicians there, Caravela took that experience and melded it | | alongside their wide range of influences to deliver a stunning set of | | contemporary songs. | | | | Hypnotic and groove-laden percussion ties together all the different | | elements Caravela are bringing to the table, from Afro-Brazilian | | influences like candomble music or the tropicalia of Gilberto Gil and | | Caetano Veloso with some darker, electronic elements reminiscent of | | Radiohead, electric era Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock. There's also | | a grittiness from the band's music evolving from within London's | | contemporary jazz scene that makes Caravela's music uniquely their | | own. The African and Brazillian rhythms and jazz approach remain at | | the core of the groups sound, but the development and growth of their | | own songwriting, diverse range of textures and influences and their | | soaring vocals and spiritual lyrics make their sound so distinct. | | | | 'Orla' showcases the Caravela's growth from their debut EP in 2017, | | building on their digging into Brazilian and Cape Verdian music to | | develop their songwriting and sound. 'Orla' represents the growing | | sense of identity of Loubet and Sousa's songwriting partnership, | | organically developing the songs through spontaneously singing lyrics | | and melodies over Sousa's ideas on guitar, the music came together | | very naturally. | | | | Lead single 'A Macieira' builds on a clipped and funky guitar line, | | strong percussion and tight, syncopated drums as Loubet's incredible | | vocals soar above the band, reflecting on the folk themes of maturity | | and innocence, as with the eyes of an old woman, strong and steady, | | like the old apple tree. | | | | 'Vale do Capao', a deep cut that highlights the psychedelic musical | | textures the band are exploring, documents the experience of Vale do | | Capao in Bahia and finding communion with nature. | | | | Both 'Mar Pretu' a stunning, brief experimental song and 'Pexi Secu', | | a stirring song that builds musically to a dramatic and dark climax, | | both highlight the suffering in fishing villages caused by oil | | pollution at sea that affects both Brazil and Cape Verde, two | | countries that share an ocean as well as a deep connection, both | | spiritually and musically. | | | | 'Liame de Mel', Portuguese for 'bond of honey' is a beautiful, | | stripped back song where Loubet sings of a relationship ending, but | | the special bond that remains over just Sousa's raw guitar. | | | | 'Um e Meio', a modern heavyweight of a song that musically builds | | around some beautiful piano work from Costi and haunting, spacious | | guitar work from Sousa, is a song dedicated to Juraci Tavares, the | | composer, singer and poet from Bahia who is fighting to preserve | | black culture in the region. The band spent time with Juraci during | | their trip to Bahia as he shared poems, songs and his life | | experiences with the group. The song is about the enriching exchange | | of life and music that happened on the trip. The song also features | | Dizraeli, a prominent force in London's contemporary sound as well as | | an activist, who delivers an incredible piece of spoken word poetry | | amongst the music. | | | | 'Orla' closes with 'Solta o Sinal', the band's humble dedication to | | samba from Bahia, the 'samba de roda' and their first experience of | | hearing Brazilian music from their parents. Joao Mendes, a renowned | | musician from Santo Amaro guests on acoustic guitar. | | | | | | Ines Loubet Franco - vocals | | Telmo Sousa - electric & nylon string guitar | | Joseph Costi - piano, Fender Rhodes, wurlitzer & synthesizers | | Greg Gottlieb - electric & double bass | | Ben Brown - drumkit | | Jansen Santana - percussion, backing vocals | | Dizraeli - vocals on "Um e Meio" | | Joao Mendes - steel string guitar on "Solta o Sinal" | | | | All tracks written by Ines Loubet and Telmo Sousa. | | Lyrics on "Um e Meio" by Juraci Tavares & Spoken Word by Dizraeli. | | | | Produced by Caravela. | | Engineered, mixed & mastered by Rui Ferreira. | | Recorded at Giant Wafer Studios and Estudio Antena Zero in | | February 2020. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2021-=----------------------/__\--'
