| Caravela's debut full length LP 'Orla' is an intoxicating mix of |
| Afro-Brazillian rhythms and contemporary London jazz drenched in |
| modern psychedelic and progressive textures. |
| |
| The band's deep and infectious grooves form the basis from which they |
| can showcase their beautiful and mature songwriting craft. Lyrics |
| touching on social and environmental issues in both Brazil and Cape |
| Verde, as well as reflections on modern life, weave between the songs |
| in Loubet's native Portuguese. Initially inspired by a recent period |
| of living in Bahia, Brazil, interacting and working with local |
| musicians there, Caravela took that experience and melded it |
| alongside their wide range of influences to deliver a stunning set of |
| contemporary songs. |
| |
| Hypnotic and groove-laden percussion ties together all the different |
| elements Caravela are bringing to the table, from Afro-Brazilian |
| influences like candomble music or the tropicalia of Gilberto Gil and |
| Caetano Veloso with some darker, electronic elements reminiscent of |
| Radiohead, electric era Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock. There's also |
| a grittiness from the band's music evolving from within London's |
| contemporary jazz scene that makes Caravela's music uniquely their |
| own. The African and Brazillian rhythms and jazz approach remain at |
| the core of the groups sound, but the development and growth of their |
| own songwriting, diverse range of textures and influences and their |
| soaring vocals and spiritual lyrics make their sound so distinct. |
| |
| 'Orla' showcases the Caravela's growth from their debut EP in 2017, |
| building on their digging into Brazilian and Cape Verdian music to |
| develop their songwriting and sound. 'Orla' represents the growing |
| sense of identity of Loubet and Sousa's songwriting partnership, |
| organically developing the songs through spontaneously singing lyrics |
| and melodies over Sousa's ideas on guitar, the music came together |
| very naturally. |
| |
| Lead single 'A Macieira' builds on a clipped and funky guitar line, |
| strong percussion and tight, syncopated drums as Loubet's incredible |
| vocals soar above the band, reflecting on the folk themes of maturity |
| and innocence, as with the eyes of an old woman, strong and steady, |
| like the old apple tree. |
| |
| 'Vale do Capao', a deep cut that highlights the psychedelic musical |
| textures the band are exploring, documents the experience of Vale do |
| Capao in Bahia and finding communion with nature. |
| |
| Both 'Mar Pretu' a stunning, brief experimental song and 'Pexi Secu', |
| a stirring song that builds musically to a dramatic and dark climax, |
| both highlight the suffering in fishing villages caused by oil |
| pollution at sea that affects both Brazil and Cape Verde, two |
| countries that share an ocean as well as a deep connection, both |
| spiritually and musically. |
| |
| 'Liame de Mel', Portuguese for 'bond of honey' is a beautiful, |
| stripped back song where Loubet sings of a relationship ending, but |
| the special bond that remains over just Sousa's raw guitar. |
| |
| 'Um e Meio', a modern heavyweight of a song that musically builds |
| around some beautiful piano work from Costi and haunting, spacious |
| guitar work from Sousa, is a song dedicated to Juraci Tavares, the |
| composer, singer and poet from Bahia who is fighting to preserve |
| black culture in the region. The band spent time with Juraci during |
| their trip to Bahia as he shared poems, songs and his life |
| experiences with the group. The song is about the enriching exchange |
| of life and music that happened on the trip. The song also features |
| Dizraeli, a prominent force in London's contemporary sound as well as |
| an activist, who delivers an incredible piece of spoken word poetry |
| amongst the music. |
| |
| 'Orla' closes with 'Solta o Sinal', the band's humble dedication to |
| samba from Bahia, the 'samba de roda' and their first experience of |
| hearing Brazilian music from their parents. Joao Mendes, a renowned |
| musician from Santo Amaro guests on acoustic guitar. |
