Myrica Faya's "do Cerne", new album edition

This campaign is intended to support the edition of the album "do Cerne" which will be the second CD of Myrica Faya. The CD will feature 10 songs from the traditional repertoire of the Azores (re)arranged by Myrica Faya, thereby gaining new musical guises.

We want to show, even with new sounds, one of the main cultural wealth of the Azorean people: their traditional music.

Because we think that in the Azores and in particular on Terceira Island, there are all necessary conditions to carry out this type of work, we chosed to make our record in the studios of Soundivision, Ltd in "our" island, and John Mendes, one the managers of the company. The photographic work is in charge of the local photographer Timothy Lima. All the design work will also be carried out in the Azores by the graphic designer Sergio Caldeira, also resident in the Island.

About the author

Myrica Faya is a musical group fromTerceira island (The Azores) formed by five elements, namely Bruno Bettencourt, Claudio Oliveira, Emilio Leal , Pedro Machado and Ricardo Mourão. Our public presentation took place on May 11, 2013, at the Academy of Arts and Youth in Terceira Island .

Our repertoire is based on the traditional repertoire of the Azores islands. Every theme of Myrica Faya is the result of a long process of research, deconstruction, maturation and recreation. This whole transformation is a way to honor the music that is part of the cultural identity of each Azorean. 

Budget and due dates

This funding requested aims to cover the process of production and reproduction of the album.

We anticipate that the release of the album is made at the beginning of next May.
