Papisa is Rita Oliva’s stage name, singer/songwriter from São Paulo, Brazil, who has just released her debut album, Fenda: listen here.

In just 9 tracks of her self-produced record, Papisa has crafted songs about death and impermanence, with melodies that flirt with indie rock, dream pop, and Brazilian music genres. “I recorded everything in my home studio, practically all by myself, including drums and vocals. It was a very intense journey, from beginning to end”, says Papisa. From production to album art, all technical and artistic aspects of the record were undertaken by women.

“Five years ago I witnessed the exact moment my grandfather passed away, and that made a profound impact on me. As I wrote the album, I was touched by other deaths, actual and figurative, which opened wounds, but also mended others”, continued Papisa. “For me, one of the meanings of Fenda (which can be translated as a gap, crevasse, or crack) is to be suspended in space-time, in that exact moment when something has just ended, but what comes next has yet to begin. I relate it to a mystery and an investigation, of going through a deep examination my own conscious thoughts and feelings, and coming in contact with other planes of perception. The shows for the album create a ritualistic atmosphere that represent this state of mind”, reveals Papisa.

Available on all major digital platforms, Fenda was mixed by Alejandra Luciani (except for “Moiras” and “A Velha”, mixed by Taian Cavalca) and mastered by Florencia Saravia-Akamine.
