A Portuguese group that blended fado, rock, and pop across the 1990s and 2000s.
For a good sense of their sound, try 'Só Preciso de Cinco Minutos' or 'Estou Vivo'. They're both pretty representative of that fado-inflected mood they did so well.
Boss AC's music had a particular Portuguese texture, mixing fado's emotional weight with rock arrangements. Songs like 'Estou Vivo' became staples in their set, and their track 'Deixou-me' featured Rui Veloso. Their work also found its way into film and television soundtracks, giving their melancholic style a wider reach.
They formed in Coimbra in 1989 and released their debut album 'Um Barco Que Vai À Vela' in 1994. Through the late 1990s and 2000s, they put out records like 'Silence Love' and 'Palavras ao Vento', building a repertoire that included 'Sexta-feira (Emprego Bom Já)' and 'Alguém Me Ouviu'.
