Young, O Poeta is a Portuguese group from Lisbon. The core members include Ricardo Parreira, who goes by Young and handles vocals and songwriting, along with guitarist and producer Delfim Gomes, known as Delfius. They've put out albums like 'Nu' in 2013, 'Estrada' in 2016, and 'Presente' in 2020.
Their 2017 track 'Coisas Nossas' featured Delfius and stirred some debate for its lyrics about poverty and social inequality. Other songs in their catalog include 'Lendas Urbanas' and 'Tenho Medo'. The group's sound mixes traditional Portuguese music with hip-hop and R&B elements.
Young, O Poeta's material often deals with everyday life in Portugal, with Young's writing focusing on social themes. They've faced financial struggles early on and some criticism for their unconventional approach, but kept releasing music through it.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
