With the habit of composing on her own at the piano, singer Luna began playing at a very early age. At seven years old she sang in church, and as a child she joined the choir ‘Os Brasileirinhos’, in Curitiba, where she lived for a while with her family, and hasn’t stopped since. At fourteen she formed a band where she composed her first songs. As a teenager she traveled around the country with A School of Rock and also participated in international festivals in Chicago and Milwaukee, USA, such as the Summer Festival. A life dedicated to music, Luna immersed herself in the Danish program “Complete Vocal Technique” and private lessons in “Brazilian Music Theory”.

The song, recorded at the renowned El Rocha studio in São Paulo, is accompanied by music video, watch. The music video is directed by Henrique Ribeiro and art directed by Fernanda Speda, produced by Photons Films. And it was all created by Luna, who shows the singer in a room, a subjective space that represents a place in her mind.
The single, which Luna immediately reveals in his personal confessions, is an MPB or MPB indie that flirts with soul from start to finish, along with the reflections sung by Luna’s exuberant voice. “It’s a very personal song, it talks about mental confusion and loneliness,” says the singer.
“A lot of energy went into producing the song and the video, so I feel anxious and at the same time very happy. It’s a great achievement,” Luna says.
CULPA was recorded in April of this year and the band that will accompany the recordings was personally chosen by the singer. With members of important groups, the song was arranged by João Ciriaco on bass (Otis Trio), Luis Eduardo Galvão on guitar (Nômade Orquestra, Otis Trio and Giallos), Flávio Lazzarin on drums (Otis Trio, Giallos and Projetonave), Marcos Maurício on keyboard and musical direction (Nômade Orquestra, producer of Samuca ea Selva and producer of the EP ‘Fetiche’, by Baco Exú do Blues), Amílcar Rodrigues on trumpet (Charanga do França) and Leonardo Muniz Corrêa (Project B and Quintet 7 Notes). “Luna was a surprise for all of us here in El Rocha. It was rare for someone so young and in his first experience in the studio to be so precise, mature and confident. When it came to recording his part, he was incredible. Almost all the takes were impeccable. We were able to focus only on aesthetics and be creative. I am sure that Luna will be one of the great names of his generation”, Fernando Sanches, musician and producer at El Rocha studio, responsible for mixing and mastering the song.
