Default Hi From Portugal!

Hi everyone =)

My name is André and I'm 21! I live in Lisbon and music here is good! Lots of good indie bands trying to make it in the scene. I play a bit of guitar, but I'd say I make better music with a computer!

Lately I've been listening a lot of IDM, vaporwave and chillwave, but I enjoy any kind of music !

I'm a huge fan of Aphex Twin, Odesza, Tycho, Vektroid. Aphex Twin and Tycho are coming to Portugal this year, and hopefully that will be the first time I'll have a real music live experience. =)

So, if you'd like to have a listen, here are some great portuguese artists:

FADO:
Amália Rodrigues - Barco Negro (Amazing voice. Lyrics are just as beautiful)
Zeca Afonso - Grândola Vila Morena (One of the most important compositions of our history. This is considered the hymn of our freedom after the 25th of April)
Carlos Paredes - Verdes Anos (If you want to hear what a portuguese guitar sounds like, by the hands of a true master. That first riff is just... wow.

POP ROCK
António Variações - Estou Além (An amazing artist who modernized portuguese music with his avant-gard style and an ingenious capacity to combine traditional portuguese music with that 80s pop feeling.)
Heróis do Mar - Só Gosto de Ti (The 80s again, in our way! A great love song!)

Give a listen! If you have any of your own, share it please!

P.S. Wow, the last time I used vBulletin was in 2008! Almost 10 years later, it feels like home. I love it =)

Olá!
Welcome to Music Banter. I am interested in Fado. I've heard of Amália Rodrigues before. I have to check out the other artists.

Yeah, I remembered hearing "Underwater Love" on some commercial back in the day and struggling at the time to find the artist before stumbling across them much later in life. Musical accidents are my favorite kind of accident.

The great thing about Thievery Corporation is how the flavor evolves from album to album. Saudade was the first one I listened to, the hook, if you will. The Richest Man in Babylon (cover to cover) is my go-to these days, though.

Will definitely check out Brazillian Girls and Stereolab... in fact, there is no time like the present


Edit/update: Great recs! Bala Bala actually reminds me of "Devil Mood" by Smoke City. I'm currently delving a bit deeper into Stereolab; love the psychedelic feel... what could be more psychedelic than the 90's, after all?! "Super Electric" almost has a Kim Deal feel to it; **** yeah!
