seBENTA

**seBENTA** emerged as one of Portugal’s standout post-punk/new wave acts in the early 1980s, blending moody synth textures, jangly guitars, and poetic Portuguese lyrics. Hailing from Lisbon, the band carved a niche with their introspective sound and artsy aesthetic, drawing comparisons to international post-punk icons while maintaining a distinctly local flavor. Tracks like "O Beijo" and "Olhos de Quem" became cult classics, showcasing their knack for melancholic melodies and existential themes. After disbanding in the late '80s, seBENTA experienced a resurgence of interest in the 2010s, leading to reissues and remasters of their work (like the tracks listed here), plus sporadic reunion shows that delighted both original fans and new listeners discovering their brooding, timeless vibe.
