About this concert
LULA PENA Mardi 23 janvier 2018 à 20h30 Musique du monde Nouvel album ! Artiste très rare sur scène, elle a pourtant su rassembler une foule d’admirateurs à travers le monde. Sa musique navigue sur une mer étrange, dont les rivages ont pour noms folk blues, flamenco, chanson française, fado ou encore bossa nova. Avec sa voix renversante et son jeu de guitare unique, la chanteuse lisboète, que l’on a souvent comparée à Tom Waits, fait renaître ses racines portugaises dans un fado d’Amalia Rodrigues. Son dernier album « Archivo Pittoresco » est un recueil de chansons folk polyglottes dont les influences multiples transportent dans un univers où la tristesse, l’absence et l’amour tiennent place. « Nimbé de mélancolie, son nouvel album, « Archivo Pittoresco » envoûte et emporte, comme une transe apaisante. » Le Monde Avec Lula Pena solo : voix et guitare

Lula Pena Biography
Lula Pena was born in Lisbon and taught herself guitar while listening to pop, rock, soul and jazz as well as Portuguese music. At the age of 22 she moved to Barcelona (Spain), playing in many of the city’s jazz clubs. Her first album, Phados released by the Belgian label Carbon 7 in 1998 has her unique versions of Brazilian and Portuguese songs by the likes of Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque and fados made famous by her mentor, the great Amália Rodrigues.
A voice that’s both smooth and hot, Lula lends an intensity of interpretation, with Portugal’s trademark melancholia not far beneath. Lula Pena takes traditional Fado as her starting point, then adds extra layers of depth through the use of instruments that are not normally associated with this traditional genre.
Since 2001, she has played with a live band that incorporates the Arabic stringed instrument qanun and percussion instrument bendir. Beside her voice and guitar, her group features Jan de Haas on vibraphone, udu drum and bongos, and Osama Abdulrasol on qanun, alaúde and bendir, who worked with her on her new album, Profissão de Fée.
