出身於里斯本，身為唱作人與詩人的Lula Pena藏身於吉他後，以獨特的低沈嗓音把玩不同的靈感，在樂類的邊界遊走。Lula的音樂自然摻入草根民謠「法朵」的色彩，融有法國香頌、非洲維德角民族音樂、巴西波莎諾瓦等風格，用最純粹的吉他彈奏與歌聲演繹詮釋。

​

累積了全球熱衷樂迷後，Lula隨即消失了12年。2010年她以第二張專輯《Troubadour》滿載歸來；乘載著熱情與悲痛的故事，此專輯實驗性與詩性皆強，對映她的生命之旅。在過去幾年她巡演不斷，從非洲維德角、巴西、智利、至歐洲各地。Lula與吉他合而為一，在悠悠且細碎的樂曲中琴身、琴弦、話語、人體、吐納與嗓音揉成超乎想像的美麗景致。她的作品是個有機體，不斷吸收著不同樂類的養分，既為日常交流，更是永恆的致敬。

​

Born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal, Lula Pena blends her fado roots with French Chanson, Cape Verdean morna and bossa nova to create deeply stirring music. The poet, singer, and guitarist first won acclaim for her 1998 album "Phados," an unique amalgam of styles that established her as an exciting contemporary singer-singwriter. Her rich, deep voice conveys passion and pain of her personal journeys on 2010's aptly-titled "Troubadour," which was praised by PopMatters as a "stark, haunted take on fado."  

 

As a troubadour, Lula has her fair share of stories of tell, whether its about her sojourns to Mediterrnean ports or playing for King Mohammed V of Morocco. As for her songwriting, she believes in taking her time, saying that "velocity is inhuman" and describing her music as "a work that builds inside out -- trying to figure out human technology."
