Background notes
Archive material and source history
Comboio Calibre formed in Lisbon in the mid-1990s around vocalist and songwriter Paulo Furtado. Their sound pulls from Portuguese fado, experimental rock, and psychedelic electronica, though they've never fit neatly into any of those categories.
In 2000 they released the album 'Adão Em o Mito da Caverna,' whose title track became something of a signature piece. The song 'Babel' and 'Elefante Branco' also show up among their most recognized work. Furtado's lyrics tend toward the philosophical and cryptic, which has drawn both dedicated listeners and occasional criticism for being obscure.
The band's lineup has shifted over time, and they've remained more of a cult act than a commercial force. Songs like 'Horizonte de Eventos' and 'Shabat' continue to circulate among fans who appreciate their atmospheric, slightly haunted quality.
