Capitão Fausto is a Portuguese band with a knack for crafting catchy melodies tinged with psychedelic rock and pop influences. Formed in Lisbon in 2011, the group consists of five talented musicians: Tomás Wallenstein on vocals and guitar, Salvador Seabra on drums, Francisco Ferreira on keyboards, Manuel Palha on guitar, and Domingos Coimbra on bass. They made a name for themselves in the Portuguese music scene with their vibrant blend of modern pop-rock and retro sensibilities, quickly garnering a dedicated fanbase.

Their discography is marked by a spirit of evolution and creativity, refusing to be pinned down to a single genre. With albums like "Capitão Fausto Têm os Dias Contados" and "A Invenção do Dia Claro," they have explored themes of youth, time, and personal growth, all underscored by their signature sound that marries classic rock structures with idiosyncratic modern twists. Live performances, such as their collaboration with Orquestra das Beiras on "Capitão Fausto & Orquestra das Beiras," showcase their ability to expand their sound and deliver dynamic, emotionally resonant concerts. Their work up to "Subida Infinita" continues to demonstrate their finesse in balancing musical complexity with accessible, hook-laden songwriting, confirming them as a staple in the tapestry of contemporary Portuguese music.
