Lena d'Água - Sem Pressa

	Vol.XV Ep.037 Wikipedia Lyrics
Info: Helena Maria de Jesus Águas, known professionally as Lena d'Água, is a Portuguese singer, born in Lisbon. In 1973 she enrolled briefly in Sociology but, as the 25 April 1974, Carnation Revolution came to fruition, she left university and joined a theatre group, later majoring in Education. In 1975, Lena d'Água married Ramiro Martins, the bass player of The Beatnicks. The couple had a daughter and, in May of the following year, she joined the band as lead singer, divorcing and leaving the project in 1978. Being the first woman in the country to lead a pop rock band, she became a sex symbol and a pop star; after singing with the Beatnicks and Salada de Frutas she pursued a solo career with her band Atlântida. She sang Billie Holiday and Elis Regina with Portuguese jazz musicians, with whom she would later record a live album singing Portuguese classics from the 70's and 80's at the Hot Clube in 2005. Her album Carrossel was recorded in 2013, with a rock and roll power trio called Rock and Roll Station, with whom she recovered her pop-rock hits from the 80s. Her latest album Desalmadamente was released in 2019 and brought her back to original songs, all composed by Pedro da Silva Martins. In November 2024, Lena d’Água released her new album, Tropical Glaciar, featuring songs written by Pedro da Silva Martins, a celebrated songwriter known for his work with artists such as Ana Moura and António Zambujo, who used to be in the band Deolinda. The album explores ecological and environmental themes, reflecting Lena's rural lifestyle in Bombarral and her concern for issues like the ecological impact of agriculture and deforestation. Lena described the collaboration with Pedro as transformative, stating that his compositions seamlessly blend with her iconic hits from the 1980s, creating a cohesive sound for her live performances.
