{"product_id":"lula-pena_archivo-pittoresco_2017_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"Archivo pittoresco","description":"With only two albums since 1998, the mysterious Portuguese singer, songwriter, guitarist, and poet has achieved a rare feat: gathering a crowd of devoted admirers around the world, a sort of international secret society whose ranks grow with each of her too rare appearances. Lula Pena invents her own rules, both in the conduct of her \"career\" and in her music. Her voice is stunning and haunting, her guitar playing unique, her approach deeply emotional and intuitive, yet also conceptual and cerebral. She has this almost shamanic way of becoming one with her instrument when she embarks on her long wandering pieces, during which the wood, the strings, the words, the human body, the breath, and the voice ultimately merge, transforming into a single supernatural and fabulous creature. The music of Lula Pena is a living organism. It navigates on a strange sea, whose shores are named folk blues, flamenco, French chanson, fado (she likes to spell it this way) or bossa nova, which she brushes against without leaving any intact. Archivo Pittoresco reflects Lula Pena's inspired wandering: the lyrics of the thirteen songs on the album circulate between Portuguese, French, English, Spanish, Italian, and Greek as she sings texts by authors ranging from Manos Hadjidakis, Violeta Parra, and herself to the Belgian surrealist Louis Scutenaire, to the composers of the original soundtrack of the Twilight Zone series, or even to lesser-known names, even to anonymous ones.","brand":"Lula Pena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57707514691928,"sku":null,"price":23478292.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/lula-pena_archivo-pittoresco_2017_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
