Living Ashes are a band from Redondo (PORTUGAL), formed in 2008. Its members are Joana Fernandes (vocals), David Ferreira (guitar), Filipe Queimado (guitar), Iládio Amado (keys and sampler), José Luis Siquenique (drums and percussion) and Duarte Cancels (bass). The group want to show that music is one of the main vehicles of expression of freedom and the only universal language that really exists and is immediately perceived by everyone, regardless of geographical location or ideology.
The concept Living Ashes, wants to convey the image of ash remnants of renewed life, continuity and evolution. The previous projects of each element have been overcome, assimilated and renewed in this new musical mix. The musical tastes and experiences, sociability and personality of each of the components of the project, regenerates itself and assume a new shape and sound aesthetic. Through the conjunction between Joana's voice and instrumentation, it created a unique environment, sometimes ether, which through the density achieved with the distortions and alignment chosen, aims to highlight the word and idea, more or less explicitly , in lyrics, which define the personality and the path chosen for this group. The symbolism of meanings, values and the fantasy is highlighted in each issue, thereby generating the identity and the core of the group.
