Cais Sodre Funk Connection

Cais Sodré Funk Connection is a seasoned nine-piece soul and funk band deeply rooted in Lisbon’s lively music scene, born right in the heart of the bohemian Cais do Sodré neighborhood that inspires their name. Made up of veterans of Portuguese music—many of whom have backgrounds in notable groups like Cool Hipnoise, Orelha Negra, and others—they’re celebrated for bringing the classic energy of Motown, Stax, and Chess Records to life on stage with a live show that packs a punch. Whether it’s in their role as the first resident band at Lisbon’s renowned MUSICBOX club or at major festivals like BONS SONS and Festa do Avante, they deliver a vibrant, danceable blend of funk, soul, and R&B. Their performances are fueled by tight musicianship, infectious grooves, and a genuine connection with their audience, making them a fixture of Portugal’s current musical landscape.

Recent releases such as “Tem De Ser,” “Mau Perder,” and “Back on Track” showcase their dedication to timeless soul and funk, while their larger-than-life stage presence keeps crowds on their feet and coming back for more.
