Jorge Simas

**Jorge Simas** is a Lisbon-based musician and composer whose work pulses with the soul of Portugal’s suburbs. Blending traditional Portuguese influences like fado with modern indie and folk vibes, his storytelling captures everyday struggles, quiet triumphs, and raw emotion. Tracks like *Nascidos no Subúrbio* and *Pela Palavra* reflect his knack for weaving vivid narratives about community and resilience, while instrumental pieces showcase his stripped-down guitar work. Whether paying homage to local figures (hello, *Bob Silva*) or penning poetic letters to the past (*Carta ao Rei*), Simas’ music feels like a heartfelt conversation with Lisbon itself—unpretentious, deeply human, and rooted in place.
