If one says Lisbon, one thinks fado. Well, think again because here comes Terrakota, the leaders of the worldfusion scène that is developing in Lisbon. Terrakota and tens of young bands form the upand- coming ‘musica mestiça’ scène are coming along with the rising cultural diversity influenced by immigrant populations, and musicians, from the ancient Portuguese colonies Angola, Cape Verde, Brazil, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique. Lisbon is changing. The ‘cidade do fado’ is being more and more open and multicultural, and no one better represents that cultural diversity than Terrakota.
On their recent album “World Massala”, Terrakota the masters of Afro-Lisboa fusion have used a broad palette of colours to paint a world without borders, masterfully recorded and mixed by Lisbon’s Afro-scene producer Bruno ‘Beat Laden’ Lobato. Whether it’s mbalax, funana, samba, reggae, Afro-Cuba, gnawa, afrobeat, desert blues, batuque, flamenco, maracatu, rap or chimurenga, Terrakota intermingles it with ease in its world massala. It’s no secret that Terrakota is a live band with one of the most energetic shows of the world music scene.
With this fourth recording, Terrakota has reached its tremendous potential in the studio too. On each album, the band has made an impressive progress, punctuated by this exceptional fourth album that should bring the band to new horizons, taking their music to even wider audiences and spreading their message of changing the world into a more positive, equal and balanced planet, where an optimistic and vibrant humanity can exist in harmony, TOGETHER.
