A tribute to the female voice in Portuguese music – that’s the overarching definition of Ela por Elas, the eighth album by Viviane, in which the Luso-French artist and co-founder of the much-missed Entre Aspas revisits songs by renowned bands originally performed by charismatic women such as Natália Casanova (Diva), Anabela Duarte (Mler Ife Dada), Lena d’Água (Salada de Frutas) and Teresa Salgueiro (Madredeus). Rooted in a contemporary Mediterranean fado aesthetic, the album blends tradition and reinvention, presenting stripped-down versions of these songs with arrangements that make room for the voice and invite a more serene, contemplative listening experience.
