"Bïa heads to sunny south on Brazilian-flavoured Navegar. Bïa's new album, Navegar, brings listeners south to a sunnier, warmer place, both in the Brazilian-rooted music and the stunning photos of Brazil in the 32-page booklet that come courtesy of her photographer friend Christina Alonso.
We’re sitting in the backroom of the cool Mile End hangout Café Matina the other morning but on this day, it’s just not cool, it’s downright frosty and Rio-born Montreal-based singer Bïa just can’t get warm.
When we first met 12 years ago, around the time of the launch of her Carmin album, it was also freezing cold ici — hey it happens a lot ’round these parts! — and at the time she was singing the praises of the exotic charm of winter in Montreal for a woman from Brazil who back then was splitting her time between our town and a village just outside of Marseilles in southern France.
But now that she’s been living here full-time for several years, she, like so many Montrealers, has become less enamoured of our lengthy freezing spells. That said, her brand-new album Navegar, which is being released Tuesday, brings us way down south to a sunnier, warmer place, both in the Brazilian-rooted music and the stunning photos of Brazil in the 32-page booklet that come courtesy of her photographer friend Christina Alonso.
“We’ve got winter and I’ve got the solution for that,” said Bïa, whose full name is Bïa Krieger but goes by the single name professionally.
“My album is supposed to be the melting point of the snow,” said Bïa. “That’s why I’m releasing it in March. Because I wanted it to be at the point where we say — ‘Enough with winter, now we’re starting to wear bikinis again.’ ”
It’s been six years since Bïa’s last album, Nocturno, but she’s hardly been lazing around in the time in between. She participated in two long-running tribute shows: Danse Lhasa Danse, a music-and-dance homage to her late friend, the acclaimed musician Lhasa de Sela, and Hommage à Jacques Brel, which showcased the songs of the great Belgian songwriter. She also penned a novel (Les Révolutions de Marina), hosted a world-music radio show on Radio-Canada’s Espace Musique, and took part in a live show for kids.
When she finally found time to begin work on Navegar, she wanted to focus on the Brazilian roots of the music, stripping away all the excess layers and featuring only two musicians on each track.
“I wanted two instruments per song because I wanted to listen to the players,” said Bïa. “I wanted it to be something like a caress in your ears when you listened to it on your headphones or something that had a lot of rhythm without any percussion or drums. I want the songs to be naked but their nudity is so beautiful you don’t feel there’s something missing. It’s just that you can finally listen to all those beautiful sounds. I felt I was bringing something that was very feminine, very sensual and warm. Like diving into this tropical ocean and just letting yourself float.”
She went down to Brazil and began recording with her cousin, Edu Krieger, with these tracks providing the down-home acoustic template for the album. She also collaborated with a few high-profile guests, notably Juno-winning Montreal-based singer (and Francophile) Andrea Lindsay, great local guitarist Jordan Officer, Montreal-based singer-songwriter Alejandra Ribera, and Italian singer Gianmaria Testa.
Many of us outside Brazil still first think bossa nova when we think of music out of that Latin American country but of course there’s so much more to Brazilian pop than that. Bïa says she taps into many influences from her homeland’s musical culture.
“I love so many things and you can compare Brazil to the United States,” said Bïa. “You have so many different kinds of music going on. Bossa nova is something people relate to because great jazz people have taken that but it’s kind of something old too. It’s the ‘’60s. It’s evolved. I feel deeply rooted in what we call there MPB, Música popular brasileira, because it’s a big bag where all the cats can go. Anything you do that has a taste for poetry and beautiful melodies and nice harmonies. It could sound folkish to foreign ears or it could sound like samba. I feel like I do that. I write in different styles. Samba has an appeal for me but also the music from the northeast. I can’t say I have a style that’s exclusive. I like to touch many things. With this one, I wanted it to feel stripped down but to feel lush at the same time. Stripped down but dressed in Victoria’s Secret.” Brendan Kelly (Montreal Gazette, 06.03.2015)
