"Fale" (Luciana Araújo) is the artist's new work song and is about relationship, hurt love and a possible reconciliation.
In the video clip, recorded in Lisbon, with her residence as a backdrop, for the majority of the film, Luciana Araújo plays a woman who receives the call from her ex, played by the gaucho actor Arthur Schmidt who, after a distance, finds an opportunity to talk to the character, leaving her confused amid poetic memories of his presence.
The clip's story also addresses the age difference in a relationship for two and creates a minimalist photographic contextualization in the relationship of time and space, focused on details that show loneliness and emotion.
“This year was not easy for many couples who found themselves in the difficult task of living in prison 24 hours at home, due to confinement and ended up not supporting the pressure, resulting in separation. The lyrics of the song say that, even if hurt, it is important to be open to listen to what the other person has to say, to ask for forgiveness and to forgive as well. ”
Directed by Eve Mendes, a filmmaker from Ceará based in Europe, the clip for the song “Fale” can be seen on her youtube channel and on her social networks. The song “Fale” brings the virtuosity of Bernardo Couto's Portuguese guitar, in addition to Eduardo Holanda on acoustic guitar, Thiago Almeida on keyboards, Robertinho Marçal on drums, Hoto Jr. on percussion and Miquéias dos Santos on bass. "Tell" is available on all digital platforms.

The love for these two lands is the theme of the singer's second album, which has the idea of bringing Ceará and Portugal even more present in their music, with the union of the accordion with the Portuguese guitar. The disc “Saudade” was recorded between 2016 and 2018, at the studios Trilha, in Fortaleza, and Pimenta Preta and Atlântico Blue, in Lisbon. It brings together ten tracks, eight of which are authored and two re-readings. Two emblematic songs, one Portuguese, “Jura” (Rui Veloso / Carlos Tê), another Brazilian, “Mucuripe” (Fagner / Belchior). Joining the two musical universes was the idea that led to invite instrumentalists such as accordionist Nonato Lima and fado guitarists Luís Guerreiro and Bernardo Couto.

Chosen as a single for the presentation of the new album, “Cumbuco” (Luciana Araújo / Eduardo Holanda) concentrates
the conceptual essence of the album. The beach, which is about 30 km from Fortaleza and was the inspiring setting for
music, has been a spiritual, musical and poetic retreat for the singer. “2012 was not such a cool year.
I was in Fortaleza and, at that time, I went to Cumbuco a lot. I would get there, seeing those raft sails,
kitesurfing, those waves, I felt very well… It is a place that attracts me, a magical thing, out of any explanation. And in that place, standing in the sand, I realized that I was very happy and that happiness is in the simplest things in life ”, recalls Luciana. The song brings the sound of the sea of Cumbuco crossed by the Portuguese guitar
by Luís Guerreiro. The Portuguese musician is one of the exponents in the instrument, very connected to fado, having recorded
and accompanied singers like Mariza and Carminho. From Alfama to Ceará coast, the guitar meets the accordion
by Nonato Lima, with Eduardo Holanda (guitar), Thiago Almeida (keyboard), Miquéias do Santos (bass), Hoto Jr. (percussion) and Adriano Azevedo (drums). The video clip for "Cumbuco" was produced in Ceará
and in Portugal.
