Frente Bolivarista is excited to present the single "Macelada" by Tempura the Purple Boy & Edgar Valente on their new duo entitled BANDUA. 

The song is part of their upcoming album set for January 2022.

On ''Macelada,'' Tempura & Edgar Valente rework a Portuguese classic, reimagining the well known traditional song as a psychedelic desert record, adding in elements inspired by the region’s landscape. The track features a deep and commanding bass line played by Tempura and eerie atmospheres created from reversed pianos and guitars flying in and out, all of which support the beautifully haunting voice of Edgar Valente, who adopts a gender interplay and sings the song from a woman's perspective, further engaging the musicians with the genderless character of Bandua, the deity chosen to give the name to the project and album.

Lyrics:

Venho macelada, venho de colher macela
Lá dos lados do Castelo, daquela mais amarela x2
Venho macelada, venho macelada
oló ai lari ló lé la, ó lo ai la ri ló ló
venho macelada

Venho macelada, venho de colher macela

Lá dos campos do Castelo para dar ao meu amor
Venho macelada
oló ai lari ló lé la, ó lo ai la ri ló ló
Venho macelada
oló ai lari ló lé la, ó lo ai la ri ló ló

Venho de macelada, venho de colher um cravo
Lá dos campos do Castelo pa dar ao namorado
Venho macelada

Venho macelada, venho de colher um cravo

Venho macelada, Venho macelada
Venho macelada, Venho macelada

Venho de macelada, venho de colher loureiro
Lá dos campos do Castelo, daquele mais ramalheiro
Venho macelada, venho macelada, venho macelada

Venho macelada, venho de colher uma flor
Lá dos campos do Castelo para dar ao meu amor
Venho macelada, Venho macelada

ó la rai la ri lo le la, ó la rai la ri lo ló x4
Venho macelada, venho de colher macela
Venho macelada, venho de colher uma flor
Lá dos campos do Castelo, daquele mai ramalheiro

Lá dos campos do Castelo
para dar ao meu amor
ao meu namorado

[FRE015] Tempura & Edgar Valente - Macelada

The new concept EP of Daniel Monaco is the story of a group of friends who have ventured on a mysterious Island with the only mission to enter its infamous Reptilian Club. The tracks are a mix of Disco, Tropical and Dub an obscure psychedelic trip performed and recorded live at Daniel’s studio, but the adventure is not over yet because Enter The Island is not only a long trip into a mystical place is actually also a Board Game for two to four players. The idea was born during the first lockdown. Due the big crisis brought by Covid-19 there were no chances to print vinyl for this EP therefore Daniel thought to design a game made exclusively for this concept, its rules are unique as well as its design reflecting perfectly the spirit of the music.

Alessandro Rosa is the artist who made the design, the BoardGame is the same size of a Vinyl cover made with Forex printed white on black. An unprecedented concept unique in its genre a the creative reaction against hard times.

PREMIERE : Daniel Monaco - Drunken Island

Bandua takes the centuries-old, traditional music from the Beira Baixa region of Portugal, and re-imagines it with an electronic folk reinterpretation. Conceived by Portuguese/Brazilian musician, sound-explorer and eclectic producer Tempura (Bernardo D'Addario) and Portuguese singer and all-round musician Edgar Valente, Bandua represents the first time that these sounds and songs have been repurposed as a melancholic, Portuguese-language electronic pop record.

Influenced by pagan and Moorish traditions, Beira Baixa is a central region of Portugal steeped in ancient culture with a rugged, hyper-regionalised history of folk music. With both artists having roots in the region, it felt right for them to collaborate and produce this love-letter to their homes. “Bandua is a reinterpretation of traditional Portuguese songs from the Beira Baixa region, bringing them into the modern world,” explains Tempura “we wanted to create something new, while not forgetting where we came from.”

Through Bandua, this ancient tradition of story-telling through percussive, multi-toned music will now find a new generation of listeners, thanks to Tempura and Edgar Valente.

Urubamba - El Corazon Del Inca (A Macaca Edit)

In Especies Afines, Quixosis explores tempo duplicities, combining disparate species of rhythms into synchopated, polyrhytmic doublecounts, that are both slow and fast, that anchor down thick and fluctuating ambiences layered in tape feedback and games of time. With rhtyhmic elements of footwork, dub, ambient, breakbeats and DnB, Especies Afines are an uplifiting and energetic series of tracks, full of detail and bass heavy rhythms, and deeply enveloping ambient cushions that give off an energy that is both hot and calm like an bonfire, transparent and liquid, like a quicksilver prisma.

PREMIERE : Quixosis - Ambinum
