Zes K8 formed in Lisbon around 2013. The Portuguese band's music pulls from Afrobeat, hip-hop, and funk. Their lineup includes Zé Ricardo and 8 Lata on vocals, Luís Costa on guitar, João Costa on keyboards, Miguel Silva on drums, and Jorge Gouveia on percussion.
They've put out several albums, starting with "Pensamentos Parte 1" in 2013 and following with "Pensamentos Parte 2" in 2015. Later records include "Zes K8" from 2017, "Terra" from 2019, and "O Lado Esquerdo" from 2021. Songs like "Pensamentos part.2," "Abrir Os Olhos," and "Efeito domino" show up in their catalog.
Their lyrics sometimes touch on social and political topics, which has drawn some criticism over time. The band has played festivals and shared bills with artists like Erykah Badu and Nneka.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
