After the release of debut album Song of the New Heart and Song of Distance, his second album, singer-songwriter Mazgani is now preparing his third album, to be released independently towards the end of Septembre/early October.

From now until then, he will share with his fans certain exclusive items, lyrics, and new music as well as offer pre-sales of the several formats of the new record. While Crowdfunding as a concept is fairly new in Portugal, it has become an internationally recognized way of raising funds while sharing content directly, from artists to fans.

Since the release of Song of Distance, Mazgani has not just toured in Portugal but also played internationally, in Spain, France, the Netherlands and other countries; in the absence of a label we now have the freedom to chart out a course that brings Mazgani and his fans closer together, offering the fans a more personal artist experience outside the traditional editorial model.

The funds obtained by this Crowdfunding effort will go towards the production costs of a record that will be produced in a first-rank studio with top personnel... matching the artistic vision of the project, that led it towards the necessity of assuring a budget that sustains an international production. We promise big surprises about where and with whom the record is to be made...!

Meanwhile, we also invite you to the premiere screening of "The Road to Mazgani" at the IndieLisboa Festival in Lisbon on the 4th of May. We are counting on you both for the PPL Crowdfunding drive as well as the IndieLisboa screening!

About the author

Mazgani is a singer-songwriter from Setubal whose first album, “Song of the new heart”, was released in 2007. The “Tell the People” EP followed in June 2009 via Portugal’s Optimus Discos, a free-downloads netlabel headed by Henrique Amaro, a reknowned radio DJ.

“Tell the People” also gave birth to Mazgani’s first international release, “Ladies and Gentlemen introducing… Mazgani”, which featured all 5 Tell the People tracks alongside five tracks from Mazgani’s debut album. It was released in the BeNelux, Finland, Scandinavia, Canada and Australia.

In 2010, Mazgani released his second album, Song of Distance, which climbed into the top 20 sales charts in Portugal. Meanwhile, Mazgani and his band toured extensively in Portugal, also playing festivals in the Netherlands and France, as well as some solo shows in Denmark and Sweden.

Song of Distance was then released digitally in the UK, featuring the full track listing including the five songs from the Tell the People EP, remixed as bonus tracks, and a free download of the brand new second single “Beggar’s Hands”, re-recorded live in the studio at Namouche, Lisbon.

Mazgani headlined a short tour throughout several European territories in February 2011 (Spain, France, Netherlands) prior to continuing the Song of Distance tour throughout the Portuguese territory with a very special sold out date at Teatro Aberto, Lisbon, March 11th.

These live dates were documented by Rui Pedro Tendinha in his road movie, “The Road to Mazgani”. The Summer also brought three festival appearances in Italy, prior to Song of Distance being released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland via Broken Silence distribution in December 2011.

    Brilhante

    Ouvi uma vez na rádio que o Mazgani tinha ganho um prémio músical a nível Europeu, fui pesquisar e as suas músicas fascinaram-me.
    Para ser franco gostei mais do 1º álbum, mas vi o concerto em Vila Real do 2º trabalho e em palco é brilhante.
    Estou já a ver como fazer o pagamento dos 10€, que já consegui por na minha conta, pois se isso me dá acesso ao álbum é aposta de qualidade garantida.
    Continuação de bom trabalho, embora neste país se continue a dar demasiada importância ao ruído musical que as rádios nos impingem.

    Caro Schroder,

    Agradecemos o teu input e compreendemos perfeitamente. É precisamente através deste tipo de feedback que o Crowdfunding se torna mais útil para todos! Vamos alterar a primeira recompensa, oferecendo, como sugeres, o digital do disco inteiro (Set/Out) para além da primeira faixa em Maio. Obrigado mais uma vez, e desde já te pedimos ajuda na divulgação do projecto. Se cada pessoa que apoia conseguir angariar mais 3 pessoas, será uma grande campanha.

    Abc e obg

    Sem querer ser ingrato

    Acho que as recompensas são um pouco "fracas" para quem contribui pouco. Considere a possibilidade de incluir uma opçao com apenas a versão digital. Eu pagaria 10€ sem problemas se tivesse acesso legal ao album em formato digital, acho que seria uma recompensa certa para o valor. Como moro fora da zona de Lisboa, os bilhetes não me entusiasmam para contribuir com o mesmo montante, e como eu, haverá muita gente.

    Um abraço e sorte!
