Bossa Super Nova was born.Ģ) Antena is a Christian rock band with at least two group members, Sérgio and Daniel. Isabelle then arranged and produced the songs with her husband Denis Moulin at their studio in the south of France, with Marco De Meersman adding extra percussion. Adding to this retro theme, old school friend Jean Christophe Clair was invited to contribute lyrics and ideas in remembrance of times past.
And soon, completing the Antena trilogy will be Bossa Super Nova (scheduled for release April 12, 2010).įor this final volume, Isabelle and daughter Penelope Antena decided to rummage through their attic and dust off some classic Roland equipment: the TR-808 drum machine, TB-303 Bass Line sequencer and SH09 monophonic synth, all of which were used on the classic debut Antena album, Camino del Sol in 1982. In 2004, Numero Group once again repackaged and re-expanded the Camino del Sol record with two unreleased tracks, Frantz and Ingenuous.Īfter a long spell between albums, the group's sophomore release, Toujours du Soleil followed in 2006. The trio's brief impact on the electronic music scene lasted till 1983. The band would eventually sign with major labels Island and Mercury, but by that time, frontwoman and vocalist Powaga had taken sole artistic control of the Antena ship, and would later go solo as Isabelle Antena, releasing more than ten full-lengths that touched on jazz, latin, and funk stylings. In 1980, they released the single The Boy from Ipanema and a mini-album entitled Camino del Sol - which would be expanded by Crepuscule in 1982. Fronted by Isabelle Powaga (better known today as Isabelle Antena) with members Sylvain Fasy and Pascale Moiroud, the trio created a sound not terribly out of place on the legendary label's catalog, but were overlooked due to the fact that their work emerged on Factory's Benelux label - essentially a Continent-based label meant to test songs and do advance work for larger Factory U.K.

Despite this, the refrain repeats the resort’s name and its location, suggesting that despite the difficulties, the paradise of Camino del sol will always draw people back. However, the lyrics end on a more somber note with a line about the morning being difficult, possibly due to imbibing too much alcohol. The song mentions organized games and slow dances with lovers, adding to the idyllic landscape of the resort. The woman enjoys a comfortable room, pleasant surroundings, and steam baths, while the man makes use of facilities like the Olympic swimming pool, tennis courts, and bowling alley.
The verses exchange between a man and a woman, highlighting their individual experiences of the resort’s amenities. The lyrics go on to describe a seaside resort with a tropical climate, where the time difference from the rest of the world (décalage horaire) seems to melt away. The opening lines set the scene with mentions of Palm Beach, Florida, and Air Florida. The song "Camino del sol" by Antena paints a picture of a paradise-like vacation spot where everything is laid back, the sun is shining, and the people are friendly.
