After more than a decade on the forefront of Europe’s experimental music scene — with awards, commissions, and performances at renowned festivals and institutions — composer and performer Marcela Lucatelli presents COISA MÁ, her first full album sung entirely in Brazilian Portuguese, embracing the rich pulse of Latin American diasporic rhythms.
