k7-1 ELA PARTIU [VINYL]

Lyrically ruminating on emigration, the songs are drawn from Laiz's experiences, some complex, since leaving her Sao Paulo home at just 14 years old, going to the States, and relocating to Germany in 2018 as well as those experiences of the international guest musicians, many who are global south artists, emigrants, who call Germany their home. The recording was brought to life in Laiz's relaxed city of Hildesheim in 2023. In Portuguese, Ela Partiu is the name of a classic Tim Maia track, the 70's tortured soul-boy from Brazil, one of Laiz's heroes. It also translates to 'she has gone' referring to Laiz's early-life decision to leave her family home.
