Editor's note

A Patotinha, Lisbon's pop-rock four-piece

A Portuguese band that mixed straightforward melodies with traditional sounds from 1999 onward.

If you want their vibe, try "Menino Faceiro" or "Alô! Alô! Marciano." They're good examples of how the band handled melody.

They landed songs like "Ele É Especial" and "Amizade Colorida" that stuck with listeners, even when their lyrics ruffled some feathers. Their playful take on "Ob - La - Di Ob - La - Da / Submarino Amarelo" showed they didn't take themselves too seriously. For a decade, they kept the same four members and put out records that felt both catchy and grounded.

They started in Lisbon in 1999, with Ricardo Rocha on vocals and Pedro Ribeiro on guitar. Their debut album arrived in 2001, featuring "Não Empurre, Não Force," and they kept releasing music through 2010's "Alma Velha."

They put out several more records over the next decade, including "Noite da Patotinha" in 2003 and "Alma Velha" in 2010.
