Info for Hula Hoop
Limousine has returned to this experimental ground where simplicity of composition, haunting loops and a sense of release are combined, but now voices come to dress their tracks and propel the vehicle into a new dimension.
Vocals in Limousine: a revolution for a quartet whose concept was precisely to do without them, so much so that they have often defined themselves as a band for singers who don't exist. From then on, the mission was to find that these singers, or singers, exist.
A cast that alternates iconoclastic figures and young hopefuls for a certified Grand Tourism trip: Malik Djoudi, Amber Burgoyne, Lucas Santtana, Victor Solf and Akhenaton take part in this new adventure. Rappers, singers or vocalists, these five performers slip naturally into Limousine's saps, as if each of the tracks had been specially cut for them.
Tropical stroll for the Brazilian Lucas Santtana, hip hop aside with AKH, soulful and intimate nocturne with the revelation from Brighton Amber Burgoyne or melancholic wandering with Malik Djoudi, Limousine purposely gathers a beautiful international French style.
For the rest, the quartet keeps its iconoclastic line and confirms its ability to create weightless themes.
In the end, Hula Hoop is an authentic Limousine album, whose elegance it perpetuates while constituting its expanded version.
Limousine
Lucas Santtana
Starting out as a studio musician for Brazilian legends such as Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé and Gilberto Gil, Lucas Santtana has long since become one of the most important ambassadors of the world-renowned Música Popular Brasileira.
His music explores the numerous sonic possibilities found in the spaces between Afro-Dub, Ska, Tropicana, psychedelic Samba and Baile-Funk. Now the Salvador de Bahia singer, composer, producer and veteran of the Brazilian New Wave has returned to the roots of the 1950s Brazilian guitar tradition to deliver a post-tropical electro-acoustic pop album that addresses the rise of reactionary politics and its dangerous disregard for human rights and the environment.
8 studio albums, numerous tours (concerts here include in 2022 the Bardentreffen Nuremberg, Klangfarben Festival Regensburg and Durchlüften Open Air at the Humboldt Forum Berlin), nominations and awards (including MTV Music Awards Brazil, Premio Multishow, Premio Contigo! MPB FM) and proves with millions of streamed songs and his acclaimed showcase at WOMEX 21 that he is still one of the most important Brazilian musicians.
But his music cannot be reduced to its aesthetics alone, because Santtana repeatedly points out social injustice in Brazil in his songs and denounces the perverted justice system.
