Macelada by Tempura, Edgar Valente
Frente Bolivarista is excited to present the single Macelada by Tempura & Edgar Valente
The song is part of their upcoming album and electronic act “Bandua” set for January 2022.
On ”Macelada,” Tempura & Edgar Valente rework a Portuguese classic, reimagining the well known traditional song as a psychedelic desert record, adding in elements inspired by the region’s landscape. The track features a deep and commanding bass line played by Tempura and eerie atmospheres created from reversed pianos and guitars flying in and out, all of which support the beautifully haunting voice of Edgar Valente, who adopts a gender interplay and sings the song from a woman’s perspective, further engaging the musicians with the genderless character of Bandua, the deity chosen to give the name to the project and album.
Lyrics:
Venho macelada, venho de colher macela
Lá dos lados do Castelo, daquela mais amarela x2
Venho macelada, venho macelada
oló ai lari ló lé la, ó lo ai la ri ló ló
venho macelada
Venho macelada, venho de colher macela
Lá dos campos do Castelo para dar ao meu amor
Venho macelada
oló ai lari ló lé la, ó lo ai la ri ló ló
Venho macelada
oló ai lari ló lé la, ó lo ai la ri ló ló
Venho de macelada, venho de colher um cravo
Lá dos campos do Castelo pa dar ao namorado
Venho macelada
Venho macelada, venho de colher um cravo
Venho macelada, Venho macelada
Venho macelada, Venho macelada
Venho de macelada, venho de colher loureiro
Lá dos campos do Castelo, daquele mais ramalheiro
Venho macelada, venho macelada, venho macelada
Venho macelada, venho de colher uma flor
Lá dos campos do Castelo para dar ao meu amor
Venho macelada, Venho macelada
ó la rai la ri lo le la, ó la rai la ri lo ló x4
Venho macelada, venho de colher macela
Venho macelada, venho de colher uma flor
Lá dos campos do Castelo, daquele mai ramalheiro
Lá dos campos do Castelo
para dar ao meu amor
ao meu namorado
