Are you going to a rural or urban area?
There's lot of Portuguese music so it's hard to tell. There's a lot of traditional music, the most popular genre being Fado (Amália Rodrigues is our most well known Fado singer), and lots of regional folk music (Madredeus are good artists).
There's popular music that includes pop and rock, I personally listen to a lot of rock and alternative rock bands, my favourites are GNR (not the American band), Xutos & Pontapés, Ornatos Violeta (this one is basically the Portuguese Nirvana), Clã and The Gift.
I also like our Hip Hop a lot (I prefer it to Hip Hop from English speaking countries) and my favourite band is Dealema (a Hip Hop band composed by 4 MC's)
