GIRA EP
#SRD010

Her artistic idea behind this first E.P by Artéria, tells about his coming to Portugal in 2018, in this change of country, where he established himself as an artist, composing in Portuguese lands, about his longing for home, his land and from their roots and what feeds them, the worship of nature and the orixás from which they learned from an early age, with their great-aunt Tila Mãe de Santo, caiçara born in Ilhabela.

"Gira" is the single that crowns this first trilogy of E.P. that will come every equinox and solstice of 2024, and coincides with the artist's first motherhood, which salutes the strength of the pure waters of unconditional love of Oxum, Orixá protector of children and motherhood, crowning this tribute to the force of nature, at the moment the artist discovers her pregnancy. In this way, the artist's work seeks to relate to the immaterial, in addition to the visible material, through intuition and mystery.

The e.p. also includes the themes: "Lágrimas de Prata" about homesickness, and the possible imagination of living two realities at the same time, always divided by reality and possibility.

"Nervos de Açol" is the very theme of resilience, during and after the pandemic, and the doubts that surround the artist dependent on his art. Questions like: "is it worth continuing?" but even amid doubts, one can endure the pressure and the lack of balance, because following the heart, one finds oneself.

The first trilogy is, in fact, the end of the story, which began with migration, and marks the artist's return to her country of origin.

Therefore, we begin this journey, at the end, with the artists' achievements, crowned by motherhood and the first of 4 e.p. that tell the artist's journey away from home since 2018.

"Gira" is the first E.P. of 4, comprising a total of 12 original songs written by the composer, since arriving in Portugal in 2018.

The public waits so long, but everything that is made with maturation comes out tastier.
