Editor's note

Os Travessos, a 1990s Portuguese pop-folk band

Their 1995 single "Sonhos e Planos (Sou Eu)" became a popular hit in Portugal.

For a quick sense of them, try "Eu To Querendo" or "Adivinha." They're both good examples of what the band did.

Os Travessos mattered because they captured a specific Portuguese sound in the 1990s, mixing pop and folk with straightforward lyrics. Songs like "Eu To Querendo" and "Travessura" show that blend clearly. Their 1995 hit "Sonhos e Planos (Sou Eu)" gave them a recognizable place in the decade's music.

They formed in the early 1990s and released their self-titled debut in 1993. After the success of "Sonhos e Planos" in 1995, they put out albums like "Corpo e Alma" and "Liberdade" through the late 1990s and early 2000s. They kept recording after a 1995 legal dispute over a sample.
