Censurados were a raw and energetic punk rock band that formed a defiant part of the Portuguese music scene. The band originated in Lisbon in 1988 and was an integral part of the cultural shift that challenged the norms of Portuguese society in the post-dictatorship era. Their music, characterized by its rebellious spirit and vigorous social commentary, resonated with the youth, who saw in their lyrics a voice for their own disillusionment and desire for change.

Throughout their initial run, which lasted until 1994, Censurados released a series of hard-hitting albums beginning with their self-titled debut "Censurados", followed by "Confusão" and "Sopa", which became anthems for a generation looking to break free from the remnants of conservative restrain. Although the band disbanded, their legacy continued to thrive, and they embarked on reunion shows, such as the one immortalized in the album "Ao Vivo Coimbra 1999", which captured the raw live energy of their performances and the enduring passion of their fanbase. Censurados' contribution to the Portuguese punk scene remains influential, as their music continues to inspire new generations with its potent mix of gritty realism and insubordinate zest.
