Tristana by stereossauro

Tristana is a woman who bares a angst and sadness, singing her hardships away to take the weight of her chest she strives for her peace.

Traditional Fado music has its own strict rules for composing and writing and I'm all about breaking musical rules, shaping my Portuguese roots and electronic influences into something new, a new kind of Fado.

In this new album I invited Ana Magalhães to sing all the songs, coming from the typical casas de Fado she fully embraced my electronic sound and gave form and soul to the words and melodies, and it's her musical debut, the birth of a new voice.

The cover artwork is by Tamara Alves, amazing Portuguese visual artist and illustrator, she has been weaving a narrative that celebrates in a raw, poetic way a primeval vitality of strong sensations, of an animal becoming, of brute passion, as opposed to rational deliberation.
