Description
Ciclorama is the debut album of Portuguese band A Presença das Formigas. It reflects the band’s taste for Portuguese traditional music, acoustic sounds and progressive folk.
Notes
The exciting new music of A PRESENÇA DAS FORMIGAS blends several elements derived from Portuguese traditional music and poetry with an inventive musical architecture that strives to surprise its listeners. From the unique sound of the Portuguese guitar to the loud rumble of popular drums; from the introspective reflections on today’s world and society to the humorous laughter of the wandering troubadour, their music displays a wide variety of sounds, characters and emotions.
A Presença das Formigas won the Zeca Afonso award (best original song) at Cantar Abril Festival 2009.
CICLORAMA is the debut album of A Presença das Formigas. Apart from one song by Zeca Afonso, whose title inspired the name of the band, all other music and lyrics are original. They reflect the band’s taste for Portuguese traditional music, acoustic sounds and progressive folk. Ciclorama features three very special guests: Amélia Muge, one of Portugal’s greatest singer-songwriters; Fraser Fifield, Scottish multi-instrumentalist and composer; Ricardo Matosinhos, Portuguese french horn player.
REVIEWS
"A masterpiece of creativity, sensitivity and love for Portuguese popular music" (Carlos Vieira in Pó de Palco)
