Lucas Mascarenhas Santana, known as his stage name Lucas Santtana, is a Brazilian singer, composer, and producer from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Born on October 18, 1970, Lucas has established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry with his unique blend of genres including MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), electronic music, and experimental sounds.

With an impressive discography spanning over two decades, Lucas Santtana has captivated audiences worldwide with his innovative approach to music. His compositions are characterized by poetic lyrics that touch upon social issues and personal experiences. Drawing inspiration from various musical influences such as bossa nova, reggae, and samba-rock fusion, Lucas creates a distinct sound that is both refreshing and thought-provoking.

Lucas Santtana's talent extends beyond his role as a solo artist. He has collaborated with renowned musicians and bands including *Fino Coletivo*, *Mundo Livre S/A*, *Karina Buhr*, and *Curumin*. His collaborations have resulted in captivating performances that showcase the diversity of Brazilian music.

No Format is a French label that was founded in 2004 by Laurent Bizot. Operating under the legal name Nø Førmat, this label has established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. With an impressive roster of talented artists and performers, No Format has become known for its innovative and boundary-pushing releases.

Since its inception, No Format has been dedicated to showcasing unique and diverse musical styles. The label's commitment to artistic freedom and experimentation has allowed it to foster a vibrant community of musicians who are unafraid to push the boundaries of their craft.

With a focus on quality over quantity, No Format carefully curates each release, ensuring that every album represents the best of what its artists have to offer. From jazz and world music to electronica and experimental sounds, No Format offers a wide range of genres for music lovers to explore.

Brazilian musician and singer Lucas Santtana releases his seventh album, ‘O céu é velho há muito tempo’, on French label Nø Førmat! (also home to the likes of Oumou Sangaré and Mélissa Laveaux). It is the follow up to 2017’s ‘Modo Avião’, an album (whose title translates as ‘airplane mode’) which probed ideas about the human experience and identity in an age of capitalism, consumerism and 24-7 digital connectivity.

The world is living through dark times- the far right and its reactionary ideas are gaining ground everywhere, and Brazil hasn’t been spared either. A militia government has come to power in the country by dubious means, then proceeding to obstruct human rights by way of violence and censorship.

And so, having made a name for himself with a string of richly inventive, poly-cultural albums su using nods to Brazilian cornerstones like Tropicalia and Bossa Nova with elements of everything from electronica to hip hop, for ‘O Céu É Velho Há Muito Tempo’, Santtana here pares back his palette to little more than the sound of his own voice and a guitar, for an album which unflinchingly zeroes in on this parlous machinery dictating the political, social and cultural balance of his own country. “We’re living in a time in which everybody is talking loud’ he observes; “I thought the time had come to whisper into people’s ears”.
