LAVOISIER

(PT)

Before being a band, Patrícia Relvas and Roberto Afonso were already a couple, who after a period of living in Berlin, they decided to venture into the world of music, with the aim of exploring the traditional Portuguese roots, through a electric guitar and two voices, as is so clearly evident in the first album Project 675, released in 2014. It would still follow É Teu (2017), Miguel Tora por Lavoisier: Viagem a um Reino Maravilhoso (2019) and Aí (2022), records with which, little by little, they also expanded their already broad musical horizons. At this moment, whether it is sung in Portuguese or in English, it no longer matters, because “the main objective is to fulfill the first instinct traced, the music”. Today they are influenced above all by each other and by the whole world of sensations that music can bring. Thus, they share the same exploratory spirit of the Brazilian tropicalist movements, but the attachment to the tradition of Michel Giacometti and the will to reinterpret it of a Fernando Lopes Graça, assuming more and more their own musical expression without fears and without prejudices about anything.
