The Electricka Zoo - lhas Atl​â​nticas (live 2018)

from Other Islands: 2012​-​2018 by fiffdimension

about

It’s based around a (non-diatonic) Cmaj7 – Amaj7 pattern, with a bossa nova rhythm. The words are in (beginner) Portuguese.

It’s a small tribute to my great-great-grandfather Manuel Bernard. He was born in 1847 in Ponta Delgada, Flores Island, Azores, Portugal.

Portuguese make up only 0.02% of New Zealand’s population – but by coincidence, the Digitator also had a Portuguese ancestor, his from the Madeira islands. Hence the inspiration for the tune.

lyrics

Eu gosto de falar

no meus ancestrais

de as ilhas Atlânticas
