Música de intervenção, or "intervention music," is a socially and politically charged genre originating from Portugal, emblematic of resistance and activism, particularly during the harsh period of the Estado Novo regime and the Carnation Revolution in 1974. Blending traditional Portuguese music with folk influences, the genre stands out for its lyrical depth, often narrating stories of struggle, freedom, and hope, aimed at inspiring societal change. Artists like José Afonso and Sérgio Godinho are notable for their poetic lyrics, rich in metaphors and political messages, delivered through compelling vocals and acoustic instrumentation. This music served not only as a form of protest against dictatorship and censorship but also as a catalyst for cultural and political awakening, embodying a collective yearning for democracy and social justice. Through its evocative narratives, música de intervenção continues to be a poignant reminder of the power of music as a tool for reflection and revolution.
