Lavoisier

Thanks Darek Mazzone for letting me know about this duo from Lisbon! delavoisier.bandcamp.com

Lisbon

Lisbon, Portugal. "Lavoisier is a Portuguese couple influenced by each other and the whole world of sensations that music can bring along, and while sharing the same spirit of the Tropicalistas, Michel Giacometti and Fernando Lopes Graça, they head towards their own musical expression, with no fears and no preconceptions about anything." - www.whoislavoisier.com delavoisier.bandcamp.com

Lisbon

Lisbon/Berlin work that we made with the Cantadeiras do Campo do Gerês, one of the oldest singing folk choirs still existent in Minho (north region of Portugal). Just to guide you through the concept, this is a work where side A is the choir recorded by José Fortes, portuguese sound engineer with 80 years old, in the church from São João do Campo in Gerês; and a side B fully recorded and produced by Lavoisier in Lisbon and mixed by Eduardo Vinhas. The album is called Polifonias Singulares Vol.1 (Singular Polyphonies Vol.1) and it's the first study that we will be making about some old traditional groups from Portugal. This a work that emerged from our relationship with the Cantadeiras for the last 3 years.

"Lavoisier responds to Patricia and Roberto's inner need of making music, and homesickness, while living in Berlin. It's set to find new dynamics in popular music, not through traditions' reinventions, yet addressing some of its elements, assertive, fierce and minimalistic: carefully selected poetry, Patricia's warm, expressive/impressive vocals and Robert's robust, precise and detailed guitar strumming." womex
