Ayom - Sa.Li.Va (2024) [Hi-Res]

SA.LI.VA, an acronym representing the three distinct impulses woven into Ayom’s music: “SA-grado” (sacrality), “LI-berdade” (freedom and love), and “VA-lentia” (courage). The album is a trilogy where each chapter contains three songs. These songs are inspired by three different emotions and sound like soundtracks of different landscapes of the soul: three deep and spiritual songs that connect with the Sacred, three that celebrate freedom, love, and life with happy atmospheres and grooves, and three that address fighting against injustices, racism, machismo, and colonization.

Also, “SALIVA,” in addition to being an acronym, has its meaning and poetic suggestion; it’s the same word in many languages: “Sa.li.va is on everyone’s lips, it is universal and unites where languages divide.” The same happens with Ayom’s music: it overcomes the gap between genres, languages, or musical styles, creating a connection with listeners through musical emotion.
