he album, much garlanded in Brazil, follows suit, celebrating an Afro-Brazilian heritage felt keenly via Luna’s politically active parents (who gave her her African first name) and her northern hometown of Salvador de Bahia, Brazil’s most “African” region. That legacy is most apparent on Banho de Folhas (Bathed in Leaves), with its soukous guitar, and in the conga-led Bahian rhythms elsewhere.

 

Luna’s breezy vocals are well matched by the light touch of Swedish producer Sebastian Notini, who is nevertheless unafraid to add freeform sax to Iodo + Now Frágil, a broadside from a woman who believes “there is nothing in the world today more revolutionary than the black women’s movement”. Yet Luna mixes her politics with romance, nature and a nod to the gods. An engaging newcomer.
