Akanis – Ice Cool

We from Resina Records gladly present our first compilation!
V/A Vellozia Squamata contains tracks of our initial wave of signed artists specially curated by one of Resina’s front men, CyK.

Vellozia Squamata is the scientific name of a native tree of Cerrado’s flora. It’s mainly concentrated on the center of Brazil and it’s in danger of extinction in some regions. In some communities it is known that if someplace contains lots of vellozias, it means the place is usually untouched by mankind, serving as a mark of pure unaffected nature. This species is specially tough and resistant, surviving massive fires, droughts and many other harsh conditions presented by the cerrado biome.

In its environment “canela de ema”, as it’s tenderly called in view of how it looks, only grows 2-4 centimeters a year becoming centenary trees in such short heights. To us, our crew resembles the Vellozia Squamata as we are gathering the work of many years in this upcoming release, something that might feel small at first, but in fact this V/A reflects our lifetime paths in the music scene.

This release was crafted with a lot of care and dedication.
We hope you enjoy!

Especially dedicated to a huge friend who is not with us anymore, but he will live forever in our hearts. Lucas Valentim we love you, rest in peace.
