Zara G formed in Lisbon in 2015 around singer and pianist Zara Gonçalves and multi-instrumentalist Nuno Oliveira. Their debut single 'Chaminé' came out that same year and found an audience in Portugal. The band's first album, simply titled 'Zara G', arrived in 2017.
Their music draws from Portuguese traditions like fado alongside jazz and electronic elements. Later albums include 'Copo' from 2019 and 'Pano' from 2021. Other songs in their catalog include 'Animal' and '50/50'.
The group has performed at festivals including South by Southwest and Primavera Sound. Their lineup has included drummer Tiago Correia, bassist João Gil, and guitarist Rodrigo Costa alongside the founding duo.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
