Titica
Em fase de produção do seu novo álbum, a cantora fala da sua carreira, personalidade e dia-a-dia.
Esperámos por Titica, a kudurista queer, no bar do hotel em Lisboa onde veio gravar o segundo álbum, depois do tão badalado Chão. Chegou, acabada de acordar, de saia comprida às riscas e sapato brilhante, alta e altiva. O seu enorme riso interior provocou uma empatia imediata, a ousadia da artista Titica é desarmante. Afectuosa no trato, prefere não falar muito da sua sexualidade, explicando, de forma assertiva e cansada de ter de se justificar, que é “mulher e ponto”. E uma mulher com convicção.
