09 May Luca Argel presents book and EP “Meigo Energúmeno”
A multidisciplinary artist presents “Meigo Energúmeno – Notes for an Antimachist Reading of Vinicius de Moraes.” This music project features 6 tracks that reimagine the works of the “little poet.”
Musician and writer Luca Argel unveils his new project: “Meigo Energúmeno – Notes for an Antimachist Reading of Vinicius de Moraes.” This work offers a bold and necessary reflection on the legacy of one of the greatest names in Brazilian poetry and music, adopting a contemporary and critical perspective on gender and representation.
Known for his verses that shaped the language of love in Lusophone popular culture, Vinicius de Moraes is an iconic figure in 20th-century song and poetry. But time moves on, and so do cultural paradigms. With a careful and respectful analysis, Luca Argel invites readers and listeners to confront the contradictions in the work of the “little poet.” “Meigo Energúmeno” celebrates the complexity of Vinicius and creates space for a dialogue that blends affection, criticism, and transformation.
In the EP, Luca Argel offers reinterpretations of Vinicius’ classics, creating a multidisciplinary experience between literature and music. “Meigo Energúmeno” is an essential work for anyone who wishes to rediscover Vinicius de Moraes in light of today’s challenges and debates, without losing sight of love — the greatest raw material of his art.
