Saudade is a specific Portuguese form of world pain. It can only be roughly translated as "sadness","melancholy","longing" or "soft melancholy". The word stands for the nostalgic feeling of having lost something loved, anticipating that it will never come back. The album is strongly influenced by classics such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gal Costa and Luis Bonf?, but also by Serge Gainsbourg, Ennio Morricone and modern artists such as the electro-samba pioneer Isabelle Antena. "Saudade" was created with the help of a large number of guest musicians. Each track was sung by a singer such as LouLou Ghelichkhani, the newcomer Elin Melgarejo, Nouvelle Vague singer Karina Zeviani, the Argentinean chanteuse Natalia Clavier and the former Bitter: Sweet Singe/Songwriter Shana Halligan. Further guests are the U. N. K. K. L. E. drummer Michael Lowery, the Argentine singer/songwriter Federico Aubele and the master of Brazilian percussion, Roberto Santos.
