Calhau!

"Tau Tau" manifests the voice element in Calhau!s music as their main element. Its been present in previous releases, but its the centerpiece here. All the words/phrases you hear are wordplays, with Portuguese words and their sounds, but also associations and co- relations. Its done with purpose and meaning, its tailored work that carries meaning and - like in "BFIACULT" - a social critique. The sounds and how Marta plays with her voice expose some other areas of work in Calhau!s domain, like their continued interest in Portuguese folk traditions, not just with music/sound but also with objects. Objects that, ultimately, you can listen in "Tau Tau". If youre a fan of both our "Antologia De Msica Atpica Portuguesa" compilations (theyve of contributed with one track for our first volume "O Trabalho"), youll find "Tau Tau" as a good complement of how 21st century musicians understand and recreate Portuguese folklore.
