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.

Ending
我趴在琴上　晕了
手弹到最後
心也累了
无力　拥有你
忘掉你比较容易活
因寒冷而抱紧
热恋中难以变清醒

雾轻盈罩住了我的灰眼睛
黑键白键　如此靠近
分不清音阶迷离
我弹到尾奏　再也忍不住痛
你我都熬不到最後
琴键冰冻穿透指尖
(music)
为夜晚而疯狂
反覆弹着致命的旋律
愚蠢　就是我
我必须要说　做梦救不了我
黑键白键　如此靠近
分不清音阶迷离
我弹到尾奏　再也忍不住痛
你我都熬不到最後
琴键冰冻穿透指尖
Ending让我哭
它结束的如此仓促
留下一阵盲目　糊涂
Ending让我哭
它结束的如此突兀
只有自己找退路
爱是谜样的节奏
开始洒脱结束伤透

扔掉钢琴是否感觉好过
我对自己说

Overall Meaning

The song "Ending" by N.O.H.A. starts with the lyrics "I lie on the piano, dizzy" which evokes a sense of exhaustion and defeat. The song talks about someone who has tried to hold on to something that is slipping away and now must deal with the painful aftermath. The lines "I'm too weak to hold you, forgetting you is easier to live" suggests that the singer has given up on something or someone that they hold dear.

The theme of the piano and its keys runs throughout the song. The lyrics "black keys white keys so close, unable to distinguish the blurred scales" highlight the confusion and dizzying emotions that the singer is experiencing, while the lines "I played until the end, unable to bear the pain anymore" suggest that the singer has tried everything but has reached their limit.

The chorus, which repeats the title of the song, emphasizes the abruptness of the ending and how it has left the singer feeling lost and confused. The final lines of the song - "Love is a mysterious rhythm, starting with liberation and ending in despair" - highlights the common idea that love can be both freeing and painful.

我趴在琴上　晕了
I feel dizzy as I lie on the piano

手弹到最後心也累了无力　拥有你
As my hands play until the end, my heart grows tired and I feel powerless to have you

忘掉你比较容易活
It's easier to live when I forget about you

因寒冷而抱紧
I hug myself tight because of the cold

热恋中难以变清醒
It's hard to stay sober while in a hot romance

雾轻盈罩住了我的灰眼睛
The mist lightly covers my gray eyes

黑键白键　如此靠近分不清音阶迷离
The black and white keys are so close together that the notes blur together and I can't distinguish between them

我弹到尾奏　再也忍不住痛你我都熬不到最後琴键冰冻穿透指尖
As I play until the end, I can't hold back the pain anymore. Neither you nor I can make it until the end. The frozen piano keys pierce through my fingertips

I ask myself if throwing away the piano would make me feel better
