The Sound of Música Portuguesa Contemporânea

"The Sound of Música Portuguesa Contemporânea" is a laid-back journey through the changing landscape of modern Portuguese music. It blends singer-songwriter intimacy with indie experimentation, mixing genres like folk, pop, funk, alt-rock, and fado-inspired tones. Tracks like Samuel Úria’s “É preciso que eu diminua” and Luís Severo’s “Incerteza” anchor the playlist in reflective storytelling, while artists like B Fachada, Fado Bicha, and Catarina Munhá bring a more left-field energy.

Collaborations stand out too—like the tender duet “Só Um Beijo” by Luísa and Salvador Sobral or the dreamy “A Pele Que Há Em Mim” by Márcia and JP Simões. From the soulful groove of “Mãe Negra” by Cais Sodré Funk Connection to MARO’s chilled-out “saudade, saudade,” the playlist nods to tradition without being stuck in it. Whether you’re new to música portuguesa or want to hear what it sounds like today, this collection offers a wide-ranging, unpretentious snapshot.
