A Portuguese group that blended local folk with Brazilian bossa nova and jazz touches across their 1990s albums.
For their sound, try "Surf Trip." For their lyrical mood, "Destino Incerto" works.
They gave Portuguese pop a distinct coastal flavor, mixing Lisbon's folk traditions with Brazilian bossa nova and jazz. Songs like "Surf Trip" and "Festa Dub" show their range, while "S.O.S Mar" and "Destino Incerto" anchor their lyrical themes in the sea and social concerns. Their 1996 album "Além Do Mar" produced a genuine hit with its title track.
Formed in Lisbon with Nuno Guerreiro on vocals and guitar, Manuel Rocha on bass, João Delgado on drums, and Pedro Gonçalves on keyboards. They released their first album "Além Do Mar" in 1996, followed by "Maré Alta" in 1998 and "Rio Tejo" in 2000.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
