Description
Equal parts Tom Zé and Thom Yorke, Brazil s Lucas Santtana is one of the most interesting, dynamic and experimental singer-songwriter-producers from the new generation of South American electro-acoustic musicians. Using only guitars, voices and ambient sound processed via samplers, pedals, filters and non-conventional recording techniques, on Sem Nostalgia Santtana has re-imagined the sonic possibilities of these instruments to create a haunting, disorientating and forward thinking modern electro-acoustic masterpiece that introduces a brave new talent. Sem Nostalgia , is a 21st century masterpiece inspired by João Gilberto s Chega De Saudade . Chega De Saudade was released in 1959 and featuring only voice and guitars it changed the face of music forever by introducing the world to bossa nova. Since then, with artists so in awe of what this work achieved, the style has been frozen in time until Lucas Santtana tore up the rulebook and brought this tradition slap bang into the 21st century. Lucas s work sits alongside that of the Gotan Project, Juana Molina, CéU and El Guincho. He is an artist re-imagining the music of his home country within an international framework to create a new dynamic sound that with global appeal extends way beyond the world music clichés. In April this year The Wire magazine profiled Santtana in their feature on Sao Paulo s music scene describing him as an artist characterised by his restless cosmopolitanism . He was also featured three times on Mais Um Discos critically acclaimed Oi! A Nova Musica Brasileira! compilation of new Brazilian music once as artist-songwriter and twice as songwriter, and his forthcoming digital download/7 has already picked up plays across three national BBC radio stations a month before release (Radio 1, 3 & 6).
