A Lisbon band that reworks traditional Alentejo rhythms through contemporary arrangements.
If you're new to them, start with "Dançar sem Par" and "Parafuso Na Cabeça." That's the core of what they do.
They've built a sound that feels both rooted and restless. Songs like "Dançar sem Par" became anthems at festivals like Womad and Glastonbury, while "Parafuso Na Cabeça" shows how they stretch those traditions. It's not revivalism, it's Portuguese folk music that breathes like something current.
They formed in 2014 with Mariana Ricardo on vocals and Pedro Silva on accordion. Their self-titled debut arrived in 2016, followed by "Maré" in 2018, and they released another version of "Dançar sem Par" in 2020.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
