Orelha Negra is a distinctive ensemble hailing from Portugal, known for their rich blend of hip-hop beats with elements of funk, soul, and jazz. The band, which has carved a unique niche in the music scene, emerged in 2010 when a group of seasoned musicians came together to create something that defied the confines of traditional genre labels. Each member brought to the table an impressive array of experience and skill, contributing to the eclectic and layered sounds that Orelha Negra became celebrated for. Their self-titled debut album was met with critical acclaim, showcasing their ability to weave intricate rhythms with smooth instrumental flows, creating a sound that was simultaneously modern and nostalgic.

Orelha Negra's music is characterized by its instrumental focus, eschewing lead vocals in favor of a soundscape that allows the instrumentation to speak for itself, often complemented by samplings and guest vocalists that add to the narrative of their tracks. Over the years, they've maintained relevance and artistic integrity, continuously pushing the envelope and ensuring their live performances are as immersive and energizing as their studio recordings. Some of their more recent releases such as "Duas Caras," "Ready (Mulher Batida)," and the stirring "Parte De Mim" have solidified their status at the forefront of the Portuguese music scene, resonating with audiences through their sophisticated layers of sound and evocative beats. With each performance and release, Orelha Negra reaffirms their mastery of rhythm and their status as maestros of their craft, appealing to a diverse array of listeners who are drawn to the depth and originality of their music.
