Mundo Cão is a Portuguese alternative rock band, known for infusing their music with a distinct blend of theatricality and a touch of the Portuguese musical tradition, Fado. The group sprang into the music scene with their self-titled debut, "Mundo Cão," which was released in 2007. Comprising a collective of seasoned musicians, the band includes Pedro Laginha on vocals, Vasco Vaz on guitar and keyboards, and Sérgio Nascimento on drums, with the music often characterized by sharp and stirring guitar work, imposing rhythms, and poignant, reflective lyrics.

The band has been diligent in cultivating a unique sound and has garnered a following through releases such as "A Geração Matilha" and "O Jogo Do Mundo." With songs like "Desligado" and "Paixão Malsã," they continue to exhibit a propensity for dark, passionate, and at times politically charged themes, woven intricately into their sonic landscape. "As Mulheres que Muito Amamos Sem Regresso Nem Lamento" is another testament to their lyrical depth, encapsulating the sense of yearning and introspection that often colors their work. Through their discography, Mundo Cão has not only laid a compelling narrative in their homeland but has also carved out a niche within the broader European alternative music spectrum. Their narrative-driven songwriting and emotive delivery mark them as a standout act within Portugal's vibrant and diverse music scene.
