about

Macelada is a rework of a Portuguese classic, reimagining the much-covered track as a psychedelic desert record, adding in elements inspired by the region’s landscape. Here there is a further engagement with the spirit of Bandua, by singing the song from the woman’s perspective. Through adopting this gender interplay, Valente addresses the theme of androgyny, which is heavily ingrained to that of the ancient deity Bandua, the genderless character that is depicted on the record’s sleeve; a strong looking, faceless character that has a woman’s dress, with a haircut like a man, holding of course, the Adufe drum.
