Tiganá Santana

 

Singer, composer, guitarist, born in the Afro-Brazilian city of Salvador in Bahia, Tiganá Santana excels in talent both in music and in his career as a philosopher and researcher.

 

African heritage and culture inspire the music of this multilingual artist, the first Brazilian artist to sing and compose in African languages such as Kikongo and Kimbundu from Angola and Congo. His pen and voice also shine with equal brilliance in the sounds of his native Portuguese, as well as in Spanish, English, and French.

 

If he is often called "the Brazilian Nick Drake", it is certainly thanks to his very intimate world and his warm and husky voice.

 

"Caçada Noturna", Tiganá Santana's seventh album, recorded in Serpa, in the Portuguese countryside, with musicians and friends Leonardo Mendes and Ldson Galter, is based on string instruments, thus realizing a project that Tiganá had been waiting for for some time.

The seven tracks that make up this album, the seventh of the artist's career, are mostly unreleased, with only one track that Tiganá did not sign.
