[Worth Listening to] Xico Gaiato, Bia Maria – Na Raiz

Xico Gaiato é a persona artística de Francisco Barata, músico natural do Fundão que encontrou na Beira Interior não apenas o lugar de onde parte, mas a matéria essencial daquilo que cria. Depois de se ter apresentado ao país no Festival da Canção de 2025 com “Ai Senhor!” e de ter iniciado este novo ciclo com “Voltas e Voltas”, regressa agora com “Na Raiz”, segundo avanço de A Cada Passo Que Dou, álbum de estreia com edição marcada para 10 de setembro pela Omnichord.

A nova canção junta Xico Gaiato a Bia Maria, duas vozes que encontram no território mais do que uma indicação geográfica. “Na Raiz” nasce desse encontro e transforma-o numa reflexão sobre quem permanece depois da destruição, quem cuida quando os alarmes deixam de soar e quem começa a reconstruir quando a atenção pública já seguiu para outro lugar.

A canção chega depois de meses em que várias regiões portuguesas foram novamente confrontadas com a fragilidade dos territórios onde vivem. Durante o verão, os incêndios consumiram milhares de hectares, alteraram paisagens e ameaçaram populações que conhecem demasiado bem a repetição destas tragédias. Mais tarde, a tempestade Kristin deixou um novo rasto de destruição, danificando habitações, infraestruturas e modos de vida.

“Na Raiz” parte desse contexto, mas recusa transformar o sofrimento num objeto estético ou numa simples sucessão de imagens trágicas. O centro da canção encontra-se nas pessoas. Naquelas que ficaram para limpar, reconstruir, alimentar, acolher e devolver alguma forma de normalidade a lugares que deixaram de a reconhecer.

O lançamento confirma também a coerência de um projeto que tem colocado a descentralização cultural no centro da sua identidade. A Cada Passo Que Dou será apresentado no próprio dia da edição, 10 de setembro, no Auditório da Moagem, no Fundão, regressando ao lugar onde o percurso de Xico Gaiato começou. Seguem-se concertos no Teatrão, em Coimbra, a 16 de setembro, na Casa da Criatividade, em São João da Madeira, no dia 17, e nos Maus Hábitos, no Porto, a 9 de outubro, estando ainda previstas apresentações em Leiria e Lisboa.
