Drawing on the melodies of her childhood, inspired by the fado her parents played, Ana Lua Caiano brings these influences into the contemporary realm. Using synthesizers, beat-machines, and sounds drawn from daily life, she crafts music that echoes the past while embracing the future. Her performances are a mesmerizing “one woman show,” where she layers loops of electronic beats, traditional harmonies, and evocative sounds with her voice, creating a sonic experience that is as visually captivating as it is audibly immersive.
After making her mark with two acclaimed EPs, she showcased her unique vision at festivals such as Womex and MENT, capturing the attention of an international audience. Her debut album Vou Ficar Neste Quadrado, released by Glitterbeat, takes her innovative fusion to new heights, with lyrics that reflect life’s complexities and rhythms that pulse with both electronic precision and the natural cadence of traditional instruments.
Nina Virant, an experienced Slovenian singer who has previously collaborated with artists like Martin Martian and Žigan Krajnčan, steps fully into the spotlight with her first independent release, niei. The diverse album blends various vocal techniques and traditions, including Balkan chant, jazz, sacred singing, and Slovenian pop. Reflecting themes of timelessness and artistic freedom, Virant’s harmonious polyphonies encourage listeners to embrace their own originality.
