The duo formed by Afonso Branco and André Ivo presents the second single from their debut album.
The song hit the streets in spring April and was faced with uncertainty. The years passed by the dozens and the promise that the changing times had foretold seems, after all, not to have been fulfilled. Portuguese is in conflict of identity in a country that does not recognize him. This is how “Canção da Rua” appears, a product of those who stick to “Ser Português”, the stuff that Miss Universo are made of.
Following the inaugural single “Ser Português”, the duo formed by Afonso Branco and André Ivo returns to do their thing, which for now is still few, but more are expected soon. Presentations made on the debut theme, innocently ambitious in form and, above all, in content, the second impression not only confirms the first but projects this ambition to a much more tangible dimension in the appropriate context.
Once again written and composed by four hands — from the lyrics to the instrumental, including the audiovisual production — “Canção da Rua” is the second single from a first album to be released by the duo Miss Universo later this year.
It is an April song in a year in which April has special symbolism, equipped with weighty arguments that do not stop at the symbolic weight of these celebrations with very particular contours. The spirit remains libertine, if not, under the mantle of Miss Universe, Afonso Branco and André Ivo were unequivocally their own. And “Canção da Rua” allows us to reflect precisely on the emancipation of this freedom, with more doubts than answers, at a time when nothing that was guaranteed is now taken for granted. Give one to the carnation and another to the horseshoe, that freedom is not just flowers, but April also has its thorns.
