The book is open. Do the favor of being lost in these pages, which are not paper before sounds, words, melodies and beats. Ideas. Images. Dreams. Deau is a special rapper. Even better: Deau is a special artist. Because his art transcends a genre. His new work is entitled Open Book. Polaroids are 10, 10 small loaded tales of life and reality. And that's your mark of difference: even when projecting dreams, Deau always chooses a real wall, a street of his New Gaia, to release the images. And in his rhymes, equally real words with slang that cuts on the corners, with references to vivid memories in the first person - Mind the Gap, Jack, wheels rhymes, concerts. All real. All exposed this "Livro Aberto".
There are 10 themes that are revealed in the second album Deau. And few distractions: Expeão in Andorinha, Bezegol in “Diz-me Só”, “Império dos Sentidos” with Ace and "Rainha de Bugiganga" with Ana Lu. D "Diego" One beats us, to offer soul, acoustic textures, transparent landscapes where what really matters is the breath, the momentum, the flow and the words of Deau. Nothing simpler. Nothing clearer.
This was the year that Deau marked the tenth anniversary of its first ascent to a stage in the old Hard Club, one of New Gaia Hip Hop Sessions, mythical trampoline various careers, when all that was worth a MC was your posture , its strength and its ability to balance meaning of words on strong beats. First, Deau did shake heads, consciousness and since then many have ears that are tuned with their rhymes.
The beginning of everything is earlier, however. Begins somewhere in Oporto in 1988, the date that your Citizen Card, which is inscribed the name Daniel Francisco, indicates to the start of your life. The middle of the next decade, Deau had culture of consciousness that would welcome, but it was necessary to reach this millennium to the first words begin to flow into the notebooks. The street was their school. It was always like that.
And in inventing solutions to streets, paths and identities. No beats or conditions to record, Deau began to be noticed in impromptu wheels where that said respect is the ability to improvise. And the words seemed born, significant and sharp within Deau as a water source: pure, fresh, full of desire to run into ears that acolhessem. This street name led to the first call for mixtape Illegal Promo III where its theme "Lamento" made a difference, echoing through the underground of Porto and the country and imposing this very thirsty and hungry name: Deau. Invitations were up succeeding with them there was the personal and artistic growth Deau.
In 2008, Deau started a fruitful artistic collaboration with DJ D-One who signed the executive production RetiEssências, his debut album. The collaboration was indeed so successful that it resulted over a number of tracks that were left off the album, but not the ears of an audience hungry that welcomed when Deau and D-One the decided to make available even before the first album output , generous gesture that the public responded carefully.
The debut Deau creased a difference. His rhymes are full of life and is the very biography of Deau it gives off all those words. Therefore, the themes of Deau are real pictures of a community experience, part of the reason for the impact recorded in the hip hop universe. People hear those issues and feel their life that way too. Because Deau is not limited to point out problems and obstacles, preferring to offer ways and solutions. Deau is an MC in a spirit of mission. And that vinca you the difference.
And now, 10 years after the beginning, Deau opens the book reveals the secrets, the anxieties, fears, passions, bitterness and everything else that matters. Deau not want to hide anything. And it shows up in all 10 themes that mark the calendar 2015. And beyond.
