Dead Combo - Lusitânia Playboys
Review by Sethma Lua
Dead Combo's latest album, Lusitânia Playboys, is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to Portugal's rich musical heritage. The duo's signature sound, a blend of fado, jazz, and rock, is on full display here, and the result is nothing short of mesmerizing.
The album opens with "Povo Que Cais Descalço," a mournful track that sets the tone for what's to come. From there, Dead Combo takes the listener on a journey through Portugal's history and culture, with each track evoking a different aspect of the country's past and present.
"Esse Olhar Que Era Só Teu" is a standout track, with its haunting melody and evocative lyrics. "A Bunch of Meninos" is another highlight, with its lively, upbeat tempo and infectious rhythm.
Throughout the album, Dead Combo's musicianship is impeccable, with guitarist Tó Trips and bassist Pedro Gonçalves playing off each other with ease. But it's the emotional depth of the music that really sets Lusitânia Playboys apart. This is an album that speaks to the soul, with each track telling a story that is both personal and universal.
