Morangos Com Açúcar formed in 1994 and kept recording through the 2000s without much fanfare outside Portugal.
If you're curious about their sound, 'Crimson and Clover' gives you a sense of their cover approach. 'Encontro Tosco' is more representative of their original Portuguese pop.
Their second album 'Hoje É Dia de Festa' included 'Medley de Natal,' a Christmas song that became popular in Portugal. They recorded songs like 'Encontro Tosco' and 'Descobrir Horizontes,' and their catalog shows a mix of pop styles from holiday music to covers like 'Crimson and Clover.' They're one of those bands that quietly built a following at home.
The band formed in 1994 with Rita Guerra, Pedro Bargado, Ricardo Sousa, and Sérgio Rosado. In 2002, Ricardo Sousa was arrested for drug possession, and they took a break before continuing as a trio.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
