L’Arannà has released today the beautiful, traditional and at the same time experimental “Una cançó em demanau”, the first preview of his second album, “Turmari”.
The proposal of the Ibizan-Catalan duo L’Arannà She is a pioneer in using redoubled singing within the creation of current pop music. It should be taken into account that this song, endemic to Ibiza and Formentera, has been maintained for many years only thanks to the impulse of a few people.
The song is a letter of introduction for the duo’s future album, “Turmari”linked to the show of the same name that the group has toured throughout the country—and which this summer will also be in Denmark, Sweden and the Czech Republic—since it premiered in October at the Manresa Mediterranean Fair.
The lyrics, inspired by a popular song from Formentera, begin with an introduction that shows the self-awareness of the Pitiusos about their atypical way of making songs: “at the most it is a style that some people sometimes laugh at.” A fact that connects with the current stigma that the peasant tradition carries on these islands and with which the group wants to break.
On the other hand, the video clip, recorded in Formentera, pays tribute to the landscapes that have remained as they were when the redoubling was in force, around the 1950s, and winks at the arrival, last century, of European intellectual travelers who, as if coming from another planet, landed in the Pitiusas attracted by the promise of a lost paradise.
With “Una cançó em demanau”, published on the Bankrobber label, L’Arannà has delved into the definition of their sound, taking charge of the production themselves and anticipating the sonic concerns that can be seen on the album “Turmari”scheduled for October.
