Als eine der renommiertesten Songwriterinnen Brasiliens will Adriana Calcanhotto mit ihrer Musik ein Zeichen für Veränderung in ihrem Land setzen. Mit dem Protestsong „2 de Junho“ machte sie 2020 auf den tief verwurzelten Rassismus Brasiliens aufmerksam, der sich durch die Pandemie stark verschärfte. Während dieser Zeit schrieb die Künstlerin auch ihr neuestes Album „Só“, das die Elemente des Brazilian Funks mit den beliebtesten Rhythmen des Landes verbindet: Samba und Bossa Nova. Ihr Programm im Mousonturm umfasst einige ihrer liebsten Songs aus dem Englischen – „Music“ (Madonna), „Back to Black“ (Amy Winehouse) und „Nature Boy“ (Eden Ahbez) – sowie ihre eigenen neuen Kompositionen, darunter die Singles „Mais Feliz“, „Cariocas“ und „Veneno Bom“, ein Song, der zeitgleich zu ihrem neuen Album entstand und schon vor der Veröffentlichung eine lobende Erwähnung bei der International Songwriting Competition 2020 erhielt.
Biografie
Adriana Calcanhotto
Songwriter, writer, singer, illustrator, Professor and Ambassador at University of Coimbra. A million titles wouldn’t be able to define Adriana Calcanhotto. The Multi platinum album seller and Latin Grammy award winner who can surface from widely popular ballads to conceptual art inspired by the greats in Literature and poetry, largely influenced by Brazilian modernism. The recording artist is the name of her generation who was able to connect the Tropicalia movement by Caetano, Gil, Tom Zé and Mutantes to popular love songs/ hit ballads that served as soundtrack for major success on TV soap opera and Radio. Creating a particular universe merging the bossa nova and samba derivations with modernist poetry, she communicates with the contemporary generation and develops a very particular vocabulary with her voice, song writing and acoustic guitar, eventually building that up to modern arrangements. This non stop communication with the younger generation constantly fuelled her work to remain on the charts. While developing a body of widely successful work, the chameleonic artist creates side projects that are just as relevant: a children’s universe, by the pseudonym Partimpim (Best Children’s Album – Latin Grammy’s/ Platinum album), Poetry Anthologies (so and so) , there research and work as Ambassador and Professor at Coimbra University in Lisbon, and constantly song writing for other singers such as done on the Best Portuguese song at the Grammy Awards song “TUA” recorded by tropicalist singer Maria Bethania. All of the above have invented a new persona: „Mulher do Pau Brasil”, her latest concert that embodied modernism antropofagia as a manifest.
