George Belasco & O Cão Andaluz

**George Belasco & O Cão Andaluz** are a Lisbon-based experimental rock act known for their gritty, politically charged soundscapes and avant-garde approach. Fronted by musician George Belasco, the collective blends post-punk, industrial, and noise elements with Portuguese lyrical themes that critique urbanization, labor struggles, and societal decay. Emerging in the early 2000s, they’ve carved a niche in Portugal’s underground scene with releases like *Megacidades* and *O Trabalho Mortifica*, which pair dystopian narratives with dissonant guitars and mechanical rhythms. Recent works like *E Quem Mata o Carrasco?* continue their tradition of raw, cinematic storytelling, cementing their status as provocateurs of Portugal’s alternative music landscape. Their DIY ethos and collaborations with visual artists reinforce their boundary-pushing reputation.
