Ana Frango Eletrico

A Sua Diversao / Nao Tem Nada Nao

    A year and a half after the release of their Latin Grammy-nominated album, 'Me Chama De Gato Que Eu Sou Sua', the award-winning Brazilian trailblazer, Ana Frango Eletrico, returns with two new songs: 'A Sua Diversao' and 'Nao Tem Nada Nao'.

    Both tracks are the result of a remarkable collaboration with legendary Brazilian artist Marcos Valle, creating a dialogue between generations.

    First up, Ana drops the laid- back sultry Brazilian- funk gem 'A Sua Diversao', written alongside Tuca Monteiro and co- produced by Guilherme Lirio. With a breezy '80s tinged feel, the sumptuous bassline, funk strutting guitars and cosmic synths are the perfect match to Ana's instantly recognisable vocal tones. A track with a nostalgic air but a contemporary flair, it includes guest backing vocals by three of Brazil's finest, Dora Morelenbaum, Marcos Valle, and Patricia Alvi.

    Next, a firm favourite from their live show, Ana reinterprets and re-records a 1973 Marcos Valle classic 'Nao Tem Nada Nao', written collaboratively with Eumir Deodato and Joao Donato. During Ana's tour across 11 countries and over 40 sold-out shows, this cover quickly became a fan favourite. As audiences began tagging Valle in Instagram stories, he showed his support by reposting Ana's performances. This online exchange blossomed into a real-life connection when the two artists met at a benefit concert for Rio Grande do Sul and the idea of a collaboration materialised.

    Putting their own distinctive spin on the recording, Ana duets with Valle, who features on vocals and Rhodes. As the track progresses it morphs seamlessly into a reimagination of Crystal Water's anthemic 'Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)' from 1991. This inspired yet unlikely combination blends exquisitely and is a perfect distillation of Ana's energetic and absorbing live presence.

    Ana Frango Eletrico

    Mormaco Queima - 2025 Reissue

      'Mormaco Queima' is where it all began for Ana Frango Electrico. Raw, quirky and lo- fi, it's a debut album brimming with attitude and youthful energy, characteristics that would go on to define their sound. Previously released digitally in Brazil in 2018, with a private press CD version in 2020 and later a Brazilian vinyl version in 2022, here at Mr Bongo we felt it deserved a much- needed worldwide edition for all of us to savour.

      A charming, idiosyncratic blend of MPB, Tropicalia, and indie from a talented singersongwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer who would later become one of Brazil's brightest international stars. 'Mormaco Queima' has a cool, laidback, swagger channelling '90s bands such as Pavement. The arrangements feel loose and easy, the opener, 'Farelos' (Crumbs), seems to ebb and flow on a razor's edge before the percussion and Antonio Neves' trombone draws the song into a structure.

      Another highlight is 'No Bico Do Mamilo', which has a free-flowing vibe, Ana pushing, pulling, and playing with the song's energy, keeping listeners constantly on their toes. Tracks such as 'Roxo' lean more into a punk attitude, with the pendulum swinging from easy-going to frenetic. The longest song on the album 'Picles', continues to sway the pendulum this time moving from DIY punk- funk into a psychedelic workout Coproduced by friends and fellow future collaborators Guilherme Lirio, Gustavo Benjao, Marcelo Callado, and Thiago Nassif, 'Mormaco Queima' is a playful showcase of Ana Frango Electrico's distinctive style.

      Plotting Ana's musical career, it's clear they are not one to be pigeon-holed, nor to be confined to a single genre. Instead, they are ever evolving and this captivating debut album was the building block for a career that has already seen them gain multiple Latin-Grammy awards and tour the world with their music.

      Ana Frango Eletrico

      Me Chama De Gato Que Eu Sou Sua

        With two critically acclaimed albums and a swathe of award-winning production turns under their belt, Ana Frango Eletrico present their most confident and accomplished work to date: "Me Chama De Gato Que Eu Sou Sua / Call Me They That I'm Yours"

        Gesturing to a tradition of Brazilian boogie music, but bouncing with modern pop ebullience, the album sees the Rio artist evolve from a captivating upstart into a surefooted scene leader in full stride.

        At just 25, the prolific artist and producer has already garnered worldwide admirers. Ana's sophomore "Little Electric Chicken Heart" was nominated at the 2020 Latin Grammys. Since then, standalone singles have received the WME Best Music Producer Award, recognising Ana's deep passion for music production - a passion which has led to collaborations with nascent Brazilian stars Dora Morelenbaum, Illy and Sophia Chablau. Most recently, Ana was hailed for their co-production of Bala Desejo's 2022 Latin Grammy-winning album "Sim Sim Sim".

        The new album finds Ana at their most assured and full voiced. Album opener "Electric Fish", with funky bass and shimmering backing vocals, sets a buoyant tone. "Boy of Stranger Things" is its bombastic counterpart. It's the grooviest Ana has ever sounded. And the most brazen. Lyrically, where Ana was once oblique on personal matters, they are now forthright - lucidly exploring their gender identity, citing accessible cultural references, and often singing in English.

        'I started this album in 2021 with the intention of showing, in means of sound, understandings and feelings about queer love, subjectively exposing myself,' the non- binary artist states - before qualifying that though 'feeling was its driving force, the album is really about musical production.'

        'There's so many references to different decades,' Ana explains. 'Seventies drums with eighties processing ... Going back, getting beyond ... Testing the limits of organic sounds'. Characteristically playful, on Me Chama, Ana takes vivid and rewarding detours through funk-inflected R&B ("Dela") and art pop ("Dr. Sabe Tudo"). "Nuvem Vermelha" is a cinematic chanson with lush strings that recalls Arthur Verocai. Then, "Coisa Maluca" loafs with the indie insouciance of Canadian slacker Mac Demarco. Later, "Let's Go Before Again", is a full-on drum machine workout evocative of Stereolab.
