Coladera - La Dôtu Lado (2019)

Brazil, Portugal, and Cape Verde resound in the beguiling songs of this acoustic trio. Latin American and African tinged rhythms, connected by the Portuguese language. La Dôtu Lado is the second album of the transatlantic project Coladera, presenting the various styles of lusophone music. Led by Brazilian guitarist Vitor Santana and João Pires, his Portuguese counterpart, who also sings and plays guitar. The album brought together a number of collaborations that included José Eduardo Agualusa, Aline Frazão, Dino Santiago, Bilan, Ana Sofia Paiva, Edu Mundo, Brisa Marques, and Marcos Suzano: three musical universes that honor the lusophone rhythms. Brazil, Portugal, and Cape Verde merge into a dialogue of guitars, percussions, and voices, bringing together the rhythms of samba and the northeast region of Brazil, the funaná, the morna, the coladera and the batuque of Cape Verde, the Portuguese fado or the Angolan lundum. Coladera was named after the rhythm born of the Morna, the traditional Cape Verdean music, which in turn is derived from Portuguese fado and Angolan lundum. This unique musical universe is interpreted in a raw, beguiling way by Coladera.
