A mix of quiet and restless moments, sweet and rough lyrics, folk ballads and good doses of rock'n'roll: this is 'Xadrez', the debut album of Uirá França, singer and composer from Brasília (Brazil). For five years, the musician headed the group Banduirá and in 2012 was released in solo career the EP 'Réu Confesso'. In 'Xadrez', the artist reaches musical maturity.

Along the 12 tracks, the artist alludes to a game of chess in which the songs are waging a kind of musical duel with lyrics bringing personal themes: "It is an album of sincere songs, guided by the melody and with choruses to be sung".

In 'Xadrez', you find some heritage of Brasilia’s rock - birthplace of the artist - and a flirtation with the music of Clube da Esquina - before moving to Sao Paulo, Uirá lived in Belo Horizonte.

The album has production in partnership with Fabio Pinczowski. Recorded at Estúdio Doze Doláres (Sao Paulo) brings sounds of peculiar instruments - banjo, mandolin, escalate, slide guitar and metal arrangements by Daniel Verano and Douglas Antunes, of the big band Bixiga 70.

'Xadrez' has the participation of singer, songwriter, percussionist Larissa Baq, making a duo with Uirá França on the track 'O Risco que é Ser Feliz'. Gui Amaral (drums) and Raphael Cauchioli (bass) of Uirá França Trio, recorded all the tracks of 'Xadrez'.

The folk song 'Metade de um Caminho sem Fim' was chosen as the first single - it expresses the predominant ephemeral and intimate theme. The song talks about the meeting of the artist with Sao Paulo, where he lives nowadays: "It was the first song that I wrote living in an apartment".

'Metade de Um Caminho Sem Fim' was composed by Uirá França and Jamil Chequer.
