Editor's note

Rafa Martins writes acoustic songs from Porto cafes

A Portuguese singer-songwriter whose guitar work and straightforward vocals shape three albums of folk-inspired material.

For a sense of his sound, try "Sincero" or "Porta Aberta", they frame his approach pretty clearly.

His 2018 single "Café" first caught ears on streaming platforms, leading to his debut album "Daylight" the next year. Songs like "Homens, Dados, Deus" and "Saudade Ilusão" show his commitment to acoustic arrangements and unadorned delivery. Even a brief plagiarism claim around "Euphoria" in 2020 didn't derail his steady output of guitar-based writing.

He started playing local cafes and open mics in Porto, drawing from folk traditions. The attention from "Café" led to three albums in five years: "Daylight" in 2019, "Nocturne" in 2021, and "Reverie" in 2023. He's kept writing and recording acoustic material throughout.
