“Canvas is a white surface waiting for a touch to colour your life.”
“Possibilities are all around – just catch one!”
After her sparkling and acclaimed first CD, LuzazuL comes with an impressive new album: Canvas.
The star of the Portuguese/Dutch band LuzazuL is steadily rising. Their performance during the sold-out concerts of Cesaria Evora proved to be a major breakthrough. LuzazuL combines influences from different worlds its a sparkling mix of Portuguese Fado, relaxed Brazilian melodies, spicy Flamenco, African feel and groovy, organic beats. Pivotal role is played by Magda Mendes, with her warm and mesmerizing voice. She is surrounded by a group with a very strong live-act reputation: flamenco guitarist Alain Labrie (Labryenco), percussionist Udo Demandt (Fernando Lameirinhas, Primos del Norte), on Wurlitzer, pianist Emiel van Rijthoven (Sensual, Waylon) and the multi-instrumentalist and founder of the band Martijn Morselt (composer and producer).
