TIGANÁ SANTANA

Far from samba furies that agitate today’s Brazil, singer-guitarist Tigana Santana is seen as the best hidden treasure of the rich music scene of Bahia. With his diaphanous timbre and arousing melodies, this polyglot artist digs a frail furrow seeking his African roots under atmospheric climates. A chiaroscuro experience drawing sober and aerial contours when this frail voice touches mysterious folk ballads tinged with extreme gentleness and delicately spiced up with sub-Saharan rhythmic jolts. An ode to contemplative atmospheres, a tenuous and sensitive thread radiating pure emotions and exalting silences. Inevitably precious.
