Ana Lua Caiano Devagar Que A Vida É Curta
Ana Lua Caiano grew up in Lisbon in a house where her parents played José Afonso and Sérgio Godinho, the singers whose songs carried the protest years. Her second album keeps that inheritance close and then takes it apart. Bagpipes, flutes, the square adufe drum and the big bombo share the room with synthesizers, choral parts and prepared objects, and domestic machinery is drafted in for percussion: sewing machines keep time, a pulse of labour under songs that are often about labour. Only after finishing, she says, did she notice how many of them deal with loss. Portugal has long sent people abroad to work, most of them meaning to come home, and many never did; those absences sit behind the record. "Hoje É Segunda" brings in Bandua, Edgar Valente and Tempura the Purple Boy. The Quietus reviewed it yesterday and heard relentless energy, with folk and laptop production blended deftly. It is out on Glitterbeat. 「Devagar Que A Vida É Curta」，慢慢來，因為人生很短。這是她祖父掛在嘴邊的話。她在 Bandcamp 上寫，小時候她理解成正好相反：既然人生短，那就該趕快。現在她讀成提醒自己慢下來，好好過日子。整張專輯就長在這兩種讀法的拉扯裡。
