about
‘Me Leva’ is a celebratory song, with references to Afrobeat and global pop, but the lyrics are rooted in Capinan’s bossa-nova influences. It's a song that salutes the artist’s homeland, Salvador-Bahia, “I want to take listeners with me to Bahia, where everything began and where I always return in search of inspiration” sums up the artist.‘Me Leva’ is an optimistic song, Capinan’s love letter to Bahia, to the sun and skies of Bahia, to all that is left around us.
The self-composed track ‘Me Leva’ is out on April 05th, produced, mixed and mastered by Vivian Kuczynski, a young Brazilian producer who has worked with Pabllo Vittar, Jão, NX Zero, among others. The single was recorded between Brazil and Australia. ‘Me Leva’ is Capinan’s first release in two years. The artist released ‘Tara Rara’ in 2022.
lyrics
Me Leva
(written by Bruno Capinan)
Som do sol
Me chamou
Eu te vi
Num fim de tarde em Salvador
Vela e mar
Me cortou
Tudo ali
Num outro tempo em que findou
Céu de verão
Na multidão
Me leva
Sopro de luz
Gozo
E suor
Me leva
Brisa e sal
Me queimou
Quem te viu
Entre o contorno e o farol
Avistei
Teu olhar
Pelo som
E toda vastidão do mar
Cor do verão
Uma canção
Me leva
Fitou em mim
Céu de cetim
Me leva
Cadê você
É só querer
Me leva
Rara paixão
Outro verão
Me leva…
