Casa Francisco is the third album by Brazilian band Francisco, el Hombre, released on 21 October 2021. [7] [8] [9] It is their first album with bassist Helena Papini. [10]

Contents

The album was created during a period of isolation of the members in a yellow house (the Sítio Romã, [2] roughly translated as "Pomegranate Ranch") in Araçoiaba da Serra, [3] and part of its production was streamed as in a reality show [11] [9] [12] throughout October 2021. [13] The idea was turning the production process into a "anti-spectacle". [13] The band considers it "the most Francisco, el Hombre album of all", [12] [13] [6] [8] [3] hence the inclusion of a reference to their name in the title. [10]

The quintet compared it with their first album La Pachanga!, seeing it as more "mature" and saying that their debut was about announcing that they were "setting off to the world" and Casa Francisco was about announcing their return to home. [12]

Background and promotion

The album came after a period in which members invested in solo projects (Sebastianismos, by Sebastián Piracés-Ugarte; Lazúli, by Juliana Strassacapa; and Baby, by Mateo Piracés-Ugarte [12] ). Part of the songs had already been written for some time, but the group wouldn't feel ready to release them; a total of 50-60 songs were created. [8] [14]

The effort was financed with help from a grant by the São Paulo City Hall. [14]

The first single to be released was "Nada Conterá a Primavera", which mixes rhythms of salsa, mambo and Latin jazz [3] and references MST. [14] The second single, "Olha a Chuva", came out on 30 September, featuring Dona Onete. The song was written in five minutes in an otherwise unproductive day in which a sudden rain caused the band to rush to take their clothes off the washing line. [6] The idea of inviting Dona Onete came from the fact that she was born in Marajó Island, in which it rains every day. [10]

The third single, "Se Nâo Fosse Por Ontem", features Rubel and speaks about the "hardships humanity has to go through in order to get here". [7] [1] The short track "Pele Velha", which reprises part of "Loucura", would originally close the album, but became an interlude. "Ocê" is a tribute to Andrei Martinez Kozyreff's lover. [7]

Tony Aiex, from Tenho Mais Discos Que Amigos!, considered that, in the album, the genres with which Francisco, el Hombre, works "were fused in an uniform and linear way in order to disclose the band's unique sound, an identity which has never been in such good shape." [11]
