Biography of Ana Cañas

The excellent record of appear of Ana Cañas authorial, audacious and distant cousin for being of what it was stipulated to call MPB. Ripened for more than five years in they jam sessions in the night of São Paulo/BR, the singer prints in the songs of the album a jazzistic atmosphere, using and abusing an unexpected and innovative musical course. Charismatic, its powerful voice of contralt made of it one of the great recent discoveries of Brazilian music, before exactly to record the first record, already being appreciated for people as Chico Buarque, Toquinho, Seu Jorge and a infinity of jazzófilos that beat point in the Baretto, very probably optimum piano-bar of Brazil, where Ana if presented in recent years.

Perhaps it comes from the Baretto - where the musicians cultivate the habit to touch for proper satisfaction -, the freedom and the autonomy that this 27 years not only shows when singing, as well as when composing. They are of it, with its partners, seven of the ten bands of very the welcome “Love and Chaos”. In the songs, for times, Ana subverte infantile models of songs to deal with the condition human being speaking of itself, without if taking the serious one so, but also without making any type of commercial concession. The second band, intitled “Ana”, for example, loads this expression in 25 of 28 verses, divided in steps as this: “She was Ana who made Was Ana who was Ana in fá/Was Ana, she was”. E music is a wonder, under all the aspects.

The arrangements, that had been on account of Fabá Jimenez and Alexander Fontanetti, partners of Ana in the compositions, show creativity, taking off whenever possible the noises most surprising of each instrument. This since the beginning of the delicious band of opening, “Mandinga not”, where Fontanetti places its guitar synth to practically hiss, at the beginning of a trip that goes to finish in the fantastic interpretation of Ana for “Rainy Day Women”, of Bob Dylan, in dueto memorable with the guitar of the same Fontanetti.

Beyond Bob Dylan, the record counts on a rerecording of Caetano, “vagabond Heart”, that simple and entrancing in the voice of Ana was at the same time more; e another one of Jorge Mautner, “Super woman”, that Vasconcelos counts on the luxurious percussion of Naná, another enthusiastic one of the work of the singer, who finished if scaling as invited special it album, after if enchanting with the band “Returns Young man”.

By the way, “It returns Young man” must have encouraged Ana to make a so audacious work. Daily pay-launched in the Site My Space, the song relieved formidable feedback getting in less than three months more than 5 a thousand accesses. Perhaps but either the impactante “Vaccine in the Vein” the song that better translates the courage of Ana (“Pra where was? Where it was that true thing? /The fort was weak, and of the man the rat became (...) Vaccine in the vein not to fall in the teia (...)

Another aspect of the artist who cannot be disrespected is the fact of it to be formed in scenic arts. Ana says that the Brazilian theater did not lose nothing, quite to the contrary, with its desistance of being actress to hug music, but the truth is that it dresses and interprets the songs of a so particular and full form that more seems possessed for a personage. The vast fan of nuances tonais of the gorgeous “Cadê you” explicitam this trace of Ana singer.

“For all the things” valley as an auto-interview, where it cites some of its admirations. It has Guimarães Pink, Marisa Mount, Clarice Lispector and Machado de Assis, beyond other confidences or so more revealing. In “” (yes `is this nome' of music), Ana also exposes, but only that, instead of answering, it only makes investigations. The two songs, side by side in the record, corroborate the talent and the versatility of Ana Cañas composer. At last, “Love and Chaos” must be greeted as one of best records of estréia of the last years of Brazilian music, either for the sprouting of the composer, either for the affirmation of the singer.
