BANDUA (Lisbon, Portugal)

BANDUA "Senhora d'Azenha" filmed by Vincent Moon Senhora d'Azenha is an interpretation of an ancient song and prayer from the lands of Beira Baixa, passed down to Bandua by the cantadeira Idalina Gameiro from Penha Garcia. Senhora d’Azenha belongs to a centuries-old Portuguese tradition of Carpideiras—professional mourning women who wept and sang for the dead. Once an activity deemed unsuitable for men, we now embrace this ritual in a world perpetually dying and renewing itself, honouring a practice that remains profoundly relevant. Once again the bass guitar and the vocals take center stage, in a mesmerising and hypnotic duet that calls upon Senhora d'Azenha to protect us and guide the people of Portugal and beyond. This is the first single of the upcoming album of Bandua, due in October 2025. credits SENHORA D’AZENHA Composition: Bandua (t3mpura & Edgar Valente) Production / Mixing: Bernardo D’Addario (t3mpura) Master: Mike Simões Electric Bass + FX: Bernardo D'Addario Vocals: Edgar Valente Recorded and filmed in Palácio do Grilo, Lisboa by Vincent Moon (Petites Planètes) ✚✚✚ ABOUT PETITES PLANÈTES Petites Planètes is an ongoing project composed of films, music recordings, live cinéma performances, and installations created by Vincent Moon in 2010.
