Sadhu Sensi - Curandero(Original mix)

Over the past ten years, Terrakota has forged its own pan-African and trans-Atlantic rootsworldkota sound. On its sixth studio album “Oxalá”, the band embraces its Portuguese roots while diving more deeply into their rock influences. A message of hope for humanity.

“Oxalá” is a Portuguese word, of Arabic origin, venerated in Brazil. It comes from the Arabic expression “inch'allah”, an expression often used in Portuguese (“se Deus quiser”). In Portugal, Oxalá stands for the desire for something to happen. Followers of the Afro-Brazilian religion candomblé know Oxalá or Obatalá as the first orixá (Nigerian yoruba god), creator of the world, men, animals and plants.

“Oxalá”, one word, one expression but a lot of meaning, a place where many cultures collide and intermingle. A word that comes from the Arabs, who were based in Portugal for centuries and left their marks, before it was introduced in Lusophone countries via the trans-atlantic slave trade. These darkest pages of human history somehow intrigue Terrakota, following the ancient trade routes, but turned upside-down, from the New World back to Africa, drinking from the fantastic musical diversity that has been spread around the world through slavery.

For Terrakota, Oxalá, that desire for something to happen, can be understood as a political statement, a desire for humans to go back to a lifestyle in harmony with the nature that surrounds us, for a world without borders where cultural encounters are the norm, a No Man's Land where no man can claim the land is theirs. The critical status of the human societies and the planet serve as a base for a conscious message to which the band will not renounce.

Portuguese roots
Terrakota's first albums were inspired by travels to Burkina Faso, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, while also incorporating influences from Latin America. The fourth album is clearly marked by their trip to India. This one is inspired by an internal travel, giving light to Portuguese songs built on top of their Afro-explosive melting pot: Afro-Brazilian rhythms, soukouss, reggae, afrobeat, gnawa, influences from India & beyond.
Africa remains the main source, the starting point from where the band looks for the perfect alchemy to get to their trademark modern roots sound, where all borders, distances and barriers are wiped out.

The band has again invited guests to make the music even richer, special people with whom the band has a privileged relationship: traditional Alentejo singer Vitorino, Indian singer Mahesh Vinayakram, French rapper Florian Doucet, beatmaker & producer Beat Laden, Kumpania Algazarra's horn section, and backing vocals by the Lisbon-based Selma Uamusse (Mozambique) & Anastácia Carvalho (Angola), without forgetting a brilliant text by the Angolan rapper Luaty Ikonoklasta.

After parting ways with vocalist Romi and two sabbaticals, Terrakota has added fresh blood with the young and talented singer/multi-instrumentalist Gonçalo Sarmento, the gracious performer/dancer Diana Rego, as well as new drummer Márcio Pinto and percussionist Paulo das Cavernas. These new elements and the extra years of travelling for the veterans have brought Terrakota to an even more mature sound, concising lyrics and the guts to do some songwriting in addition to their explosive Afro-world sound.
The Portuguese globetrotters have reached new highs and are ready to take Europe by storm and get back to the international festivals to make the audience dance to their positive vibes and energizing live performance!

A Salt Train

Terra Livre’s Debut Álbum - “Seeds, Roots Flowers and Fruits” (released on 13th of February) features Manu Chao among other distinguished guest artist collaborations. This eclectic journey begins with World Music and carries on to a search to discover what sounds as “Earth Music”.
The Portuguese group voices the emerging ecologic movement, a natural and spontaneous movement with no leaders or borders, that manifests itself locally on a planetary level.
Their sound mixes simplicity with psychedelia, mestizo with mysticism, ecology and activism, singing consciousness and diversity in one tone.

Everything starts from a seed. Or does it? A cycle doesn’t have a beginning or an end. It repeats itself, but never in the same way - It’s an infinite spiral.
“Seeds, Roots, Flowers
and Fruits”  is a homage
to the natural cycles, to
the four seasons, the four
directions and the four
principles of Permaculture. The twelve songs are a representation of the twelve months in a year and the twelve zodiac signs through which the Earth travels since It was only a seedling planet.
The influence of m  ulticultural Lisbon  is evident when you listen to a Jamaican R  eggae  with melodies that could be from either the Balkans, Ethiopia or Eritrea. Desert  Blues  with a taste of Indian  Folk  and American F  unk,  or even a Moroccan G  nawa  with traits of the Portuguese song and  Rock  experimentalism. Each song is a unique experience, not giving away what genre the next track will be.
There is consonance, however, in the  purity of the message,  the  harmonious aesthetics and the  respect for diversity  itself. These are values that guide all the work, and the different styles are explored with the honesty of someone who has been to the roots to find the different elements that make up the whole.
It is, at heart, an ancient Portuguese heritage: To contemplate the oceans not as a barrier but as a bridge that not only allows us to discover the other but, above all, to understand who we are.

In a time when the planet’s resources are scarce, and the rivers and oceans are polluted to the point of having more plastic than fish, and with the forests disappearing at an unbelievable speed, the urgency of a paradigm shift and the love of music keeps the group united for a Free Earth - TERRA LIVRE.

Miracle

In 1999, their seed was planted in Burkina Faso. It sprang in Portugal and, since then, has spread its fruits around the world, between musical research expeditions and live shows on the most important world music festivals. Recently, they have been given recognition by the Songlines Music Awards 2011, with a nomination in the Best Group category.With Terrakota, the world map is turned upside down, and borders are swept by their multilingual music, as if Portuguese, Creole, Wolof, Spanish, English, Arabic, were a single language. Carrying a passport for a ride around the world, their dance steps journey across mandinga and afro-cuban rhythms, soukous, maracatu, arab music, rap, chimurenga, and, more recently, indian music influences. Their work speaks for itself: it joins together different people, languages and cultures. It struggles for a recognition of the universal human nature: strong political beliefs become embodied in the energy of their shows. But their solid musical identity, always inventive and well seasoned, is constantly being built and improved, with traditional and contemporary elements, on a global scale.
