Background notes
Archive material and source history
Os Travessões formed in Lisbon with Andreia Machado on vocals, Manuel Cruz on guitar, Pedro Gonçalves on bass, and Ricardo Martins on drums. Their debut album 'A Metáfora do Prazer' came out in 2001, and its title track became a recognizable song for them.
Their lyrics sometimes addressed sexuality and social norms, which drew some criticism at the time. They kept making music through the 2000s and into the 2010s, releasing albums like 'Ouro Sobre Azul' in 2004 and 'A História do Mundo em 45 Minutos' in 2013.
Machado's voice and the band's arrangements gave them a particular sound within Portuguese music. They worked together for over a decade, putting out records that mixed personal themes with broader observations.
