"Experimenting with the fusion of the traditional and the contemporary (Ana Lua Caiano's) sonic palette nods melodically to her country's history but is resolutely forward thinking - She creates music that's disconcertingly confrontational and sonically expansive" -- The Line of Best Fit.
Ana Lua Caiano's debut album melds rural Portuguese music traditions with layered vocals, synthesizers, insistent beats and field recordings. Her music is visceral and tightly focused pulling from a rich mosaic of influences that includes traditional group singing, musique concrete, songwriters from Portugal's 70's revolutionary period and electronic icons like Bjork and Laurie Anderson.
Hailing from Lisbon's fertile musical underground, Caiano's music - and its international reception - are moving forward quickly. Her lauded recent performances at Eurosonic and Transmusicales (where she recorded a KEXP session) certainly attest to that, as do the laser sharp emotions and highly individual sonics of her much anticipated first album: Vou Ficar Neste Quadrado (I Shall Stay in This Square).
