Filipe de Maria is a Portuguese band that formed in Porto. Their debut album 'Fado e Furia' came out in 2006, mixing traditional fado with rock. The 2009 follow-up 'Tudo o que Eu Sou' included the song 'Barco a Vela,' which became one of their better-known tracks.
Later albums like 'Cem Anos de Solidão' from 2012 and 'Luz' from 2016 showed the band working with more introspective material. Other songs in their catalog include 'Beija Flor,' 'Em Nome da Saudade,' and 'Rosa dos Ventos.'
The band's lineup featured Filipe de Maria on vocals and guitar, along with Tiago Oliveira on guitar, Pedro Silva on bass, and Miguel Botelho on drums. Their music sometimes drew criticism for blending traditional Portuguese sounds with contemporary approaches.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
