The textures of, &#8220;A Macieira&#8221; are what stand out, based on catchy and funk-inflected guitar lines, strong percussion, syncopated drums and the incredible voice of In\u00eas Loubet Franco that rises above the group introducing folk themes about maturity and innocence through the eyes of an old woman, as strong and stable as an oak tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Caravela - A Macieira [Audio]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p-6yKdbPfYc?feature=oembed&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Caravela &#8211; &#8221; A Macieira &#8220;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The album&#8217;s Portuguese lyrics address the social and environmental issues faced by Brazil and Cape Verde. The hypnotic groove-led percussion supports their words, reviving the band&#8217;s Afro-Brazilian influences on the rhythms of Candombl\u00e9 music played in Bahia or the tropicalism of Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso (part of the cultural revolution in Brazil at the end of the 1960s). There are also some darker electronic elements reminiscent of Radiohead or the electric era of Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock, though African and Brazilian rhythms remain at the heart of the band\u2019s writing, filtered through a jazz approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album <em>Orla<\/em> will be released on February 26 via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nonemorerecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\">None More Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to Caravela in our Songs of the Week playlist on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2Pz0eyg\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/30zVbUA\" target=\"_blank\">Deezer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/f19d3dc1-nmr006s1_web1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/f19d3dc1-nmr006s1_web1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/f19d3dc1-nmr006s1_web1-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/f19d3dc1-nmr006s1_web1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/f19d3dc1-nmr006s1_web1-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/f19d3dc1-nmr006s1_web1-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/f19d3dc1-nmr006s1_web1-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/f19d3dc1-nmr006s1_web1-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/f19d3dc1-nmr006s1_web1-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/f19d3dc1-nmr006s1_web1-73x73.jpg 73w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The London-based Afro-Brazilian group presents \u201dA Macieira,\u201d a single from their upcoming debut album.
