It's a return to the origins of her voice and the confirmation of her talent as a performer.
Dulce Pontes could be described as the voice of Portugal. She embodies the Lusitanian spirit through the way she sings her music and it is only comparable to Amalia, the expressiveness and emotion that permeates the melodies she sings. On this album the singer was covered with clay, because she wanted to undress to find the nakedness of her chant. The body is just a wrapper. She wanted to rediscover its essence, its soul and its voice. It's an album were she wanted to created an original musical identity, which goes in search of nature, of the four elements, through an unusual instrumentality . The theme "the large Alentejo" is an example, if you listen closely, in the bottom echoes an Australian didgeridoo, a harmonica, hornpipes and the singing of Alentejo ganhões of Castro Verde, which generate a crossing of unusual sounds. It is the land. The song's title is an Iberian clamor, with all of the traditional sounds that Dulce prints out even more power with the clarinet, the drums and the conjunction of several voices. It is dedicated to Zeca Afonso, April songwriter and one of her musical references. Warrior Soul is a hymn to her wit as a singer and as an artist in search of her inner fire. Without you my love I do not see the sky / extinguishes the fire that sparked this war dance on me ... Dulce, a warrior, a sweet contradiction. Then comes the water, Ondeia and I must say that this song causes me more excitement, you can hear the sounds of the sea in the background and her crystalline voice takes us to the underwater world, full of mysteries, waves that propagate indefinitely , as her voice insinuates floats and flutters in this song. It is as sublime and magnificent as her talent.
