N.O.H.A. stands for 'Noise of Human Art' - Noha and Chevy have been the key figures of the project through its entire existence. The band is characteristic by its open genre-mixture of drum&bass, world music and energy loaded grooves. Hits like Balkan Hot Step, Pijama, Dive in your life, Base From Above and primarily Tu Café brought the band to the biggest European festival stages, for example: Eurospotting-Kopenhagen, Bourges Festival, Roxy-Istanbul, Electronic Beats Festival (supporting Prodigy), Roots Festival-Amsterdam, Espantapitas Festival, Rock For People, Exit, Pohoda, Colours of Ostrava, PopKomm, Rolling Stone Roadshow, Bizarre Festival, Nancy-Jazz Festival, Funkhaus Europa-Festival etc. When on stage, N.O.H.A. stands out as a living, breathing tornado and it emits highly infectious positive energy surfing from the atmosphere to the stage, which has been proven by countless reactions to shows in numerous festivals this year alone, in the Old continent. With its evident fondness for traditional music and multicultural approach N.O.H.A. crushes the boarders between different music genres and continents and thus connects naturally dynamical loaded groove with lively, joyful and playful performance. This is now even augmented by the presence of Brazil singer and guitar player Camila De Oliveira, whose enchanting voice and very distinctive latin-punk feeling adds new dimension to both the music and live shows of N.O.H.A..

Camila studied singing, film music and music production at Tom Jobim Academy in São Paulo. She lived alternately in Sweden, Denmark, Brazil, India and Israel. This background might be the reason, why can she offer her voice in so many different levels and so maturely in the age of just 27 and why the strong impact her presence has on recent song writing and lyric writing process within the project. At the end of last summer Camila reached Prague after long travel and probably has been so surprised by local winter that she literally freezed until early spring, when she met Philip Noha. After couple of common jam-sessions it was more than clear that their mutual collaboration is perfect, although they come from different cultures and backgrounds. Therefore, Philip offered Camila to become a member of N.O.H.A.. Camila agreed and very successful summer tour followed, when the band day after day and show after show surprised its audience with never-ending load of emotions, joy from the show itself, with energetic on-stage appearance and very lively performance. In a very short time Camila became a new voice of N.O.H.A.

N.O.H.A. Noise Of Human Art, Circus Underground is:

- MC Chevy (New York, USA), project´s co-founder, band's “soul”, lyricist, integral part of N.O.H.A. imparting its charisma, voice, living power and energy to the project

- Camila de Oliveira (São Paulo, BRA), singer, guitar player, song-writer and lyricist, band´s “voice”, new face of the project, globetrotter filled with inspiration of culture from all over the world. Through N.O.H.A. she passes this inspiration on her audience both on stage and in the studio

- Philip Noha (Prague, CZ), founder of the project, band´s “head”, composer, producer and saxophone player setting its direction throughout entire existence of N.O.H.A. It was his composition and production of songs like “Balkan Hot Step” or “Tu Café” which moved N.O.H.A. to its current level

- Thom Herian (Prague, CZ), sensational Czech drummer and band's beating “heart”. Only few drum-kit players in the world play live drum and bass like Thom does. His performance is a special experience not limited to musical enjoyment

- Jatrabass (CZ), band´s „liver“, bass guitar and double bass. Like its equivalent in human body, Jatrabass also filters just the elements needed for band´s musical blood and its bloodstream. Precision and excellent coordination with the drum-kit make for band´s extraordinary groove station.

To its live shows N.O.H.A. regularly invites different guests, for example beat-boxer Skiller (BG) or vocalists Charlie One (UK) or Susi Gamboa (CZ). During its relatively long existence (founded in 1995) project proved itself as a very stable musical entity which overcame two changes on the singer post (Sam Leigh Bown from UK and Minerva Diaz Peréz from Germany) and managed to refresh its potential with new singer Camila de Oliveira (BRA), drum-kit player Thom Herian and bassist Jatrabass. In turn, these three pushed the band at
least a level higher. As the numerous reviews in both printed and electronic media may prove, the band is currently in its best configuration since it was founded and reactions of its fans are in the similar tone. You will have the opportunity to hear first new tracks of creative set Philip Noha, Camila De Oliveira, MC Chevy and Thom Herian on band's fall tour.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to N.O.H.A.'s song "Cat" seem to revolve around a love relationship, using the metaphors of a silly dog and a lazy cat to represent the two individuals involved. The song expresses the intense and sometimes overwhelming emotions experienced in this relationship.

The first paragraph suggests that the person singing sees their partner as someone they can rely on and refers to a night where they believe their partner is feeling lonely. They mention sending a message expressing their love and envisioning their partner's bed as a paradise. The lyrics convey a sense of excitement and being on a high, possibly due to the intensity of their love.

The second paragraph introduces the idea of sleeplessness and the contrasting personalities of the two individuals. The person singing asks their partner not to make them sleepless, suggesting that their love might be causing restless nights. The description of the partner as a silly dog and a lazy cat may imply that the two have different approaches to the relationship, with one being more playful and energetic (silly dog) and the other more relaxed and laid-back (lazy cat).

The third paragraph explores the idea of the relationship being misunderstood by others. The lyrics mention that nobody truly knows what the love between the two individuals is like, despite everyone thinking about it. It suggests that their love is unique and cannot be fully comprehended by outsiders. The use of the phrase "I know what the LOVE is" and the mention of a calculator box may imply that the singer understands the complexities of love while others struggle to grasp it.

The final paragraph repeats the idea that nobody really knows what the love between the two individuals is like. It emphasizes that thinking about the meaning of love is something everyone does but is often elusive. The lyrics also mention a potential mistake made by one of them, but it is brushed off with laughter, suggesting a resilient and forgiving attitude within the relationship. The mention of future plans like a trip and questioning busyness indicates a desire for deeper connection and quality time together.

Overall, the lyrics of "Cat" seem to reflect a passionate and intense love relationship, highlighting individual differences, the mysteries of love, and the desire for a strong bond and shared experiences.
