Calo Pascoal started in Lisbon around 1997 as a group of friends interested in traditional Portuguese music. The band's vocalist is Ana Paula de Almeida. Their song 'Titiriti' became popular in Portugal, mixing traditional sounds with contemporary influences.
Their music draws from Portuguese fado, samba, and Cabo Verdean batuque rhythms. They've released albums like 'Calo Pascoal' in 1998, 'Titiriti' in 2001, and 'Porta do Sol' in 2010. Other songs include 'Pense Em Mim' with Matias Damásio and 'Cuidado Com o Fim do Mundo'.
Some traditional music listeners criticized their approach to blending styles, but they continued performing. Their live shows are known for their energy.
