From her very first piano lessons as a child to a four-year jazz music degree and the Portuguese musical traditions of her parents and grandparents - there was never enough creative freedom for Ana Lua Caiano. She wanted it all. While stuck at home during the pandemic, the young singer and songwriter began to mix Portuguese folk music with electronic beats. Harmonies and chorales, a particular type of oral storytelling crafted in the Portuguese pampas, inspire Caiano's songs and imbue them with an unmistakable sonority. The impressive debut album "Vou ficar neste quadrado" (2024) is far from a lazy fado update - instead, it references revolutionary songs from the Portuguese army of the 70s and combines these inspirations with a cutting-edge production that spans art pop, glitch, deconstructed club and UK bass. Things come together here that many thought were impossible to reconcile - this woman proves the opposite. Live, she's quite something.
