Alvorário is an eclectic album featuring the dichotomies of beauty in sadness, of tradition in authorship and of poetic lore in author poetry. It includes both original compositions and traditional songs (from Portugal and Galicia) and it is born from the collective artistic creation process of the four members of the band, in a space of experimentation and personal experiences sharing, aiming not for a purist reproduction of the traditional, but rather for the integration of various musical dialects in a cohese signature sound.
Rhythm and melody wise, there is a formal search for historical musical genres. Concerning vocals, the band members portray the individual or collective roles of the voice in a fluid, dynamic and cooperative way. The aesthetics of the resulting arrangements denote elements of a plethora of genres, ranging from indie to pop, punk, folk, rock, minimal, experimental and even psychedelic.
Words are privileged and prosody has a determinant role in the composition and arrangement processes. Apart from original lyrics by both Blandino Soares and Rita Só, Alvorário features poetry from several other portuguese authors to achieve narrative diversity. It also intends to serve an intervention purpose, calling on critical thinking and raising awareness for important topics of nowadays’ society.
These stories we shall tell are to be humane, realistic, empathic and intemporal, able to connect with the audience and to which people can relate.
Help us tell these stories by supporting us and making Alvorário happen!
