Ronda Dos Quatro Caminhos is a prominent Portuguese folk music group known for their heartfelt renditions and innovative arrangements of traditional Portuguese music. Formed in the early 1990s, the group has consistently celebrated the diverse cultural tapestry of Portugal through their music, exploring various regional styles and breathing new life into old tunes. Their name, which translates to "Roundabout of the Four Ways," is symbolic of their crossroads of influences and the convergence of paths within the realms of Portuguese folk tradition.

Their album discography showcases a deep reverence for folklore, with titles like "Sopas do Espírito Santo" and "Tierra Alantre" highlighting regional themes and expressions from the Azores to the Iberian Peninsula. "Outras Terras" and "Canções Esquecidas" suggest a journey into forgotten songs and lands, while "Terra de abrigo" and "Alçude" offer sheltering landscapes of sound. "Amores De Maio," "Recantos," "Canções Tradicionais Infantis," and "Romarias" further demonstrate the ensemble's commitment to the calendar of life in Portugal, from love's seasons to traditional children's songs and religious pilgrimages. Ronda Dos Quatro Caminhos is not just a musical act but a bridge to Portugal's past, made accessible to contemporary audiences through their harmonious storytelling.
