The Sound of Música de Intervenção

“The Sound of Música de Intervenção” is a dive into Portugal’s politically charged and culturally rich soundscape from the late 20th century. This playlist brings together key voices like José Afonso, Fausto, and Manuel Freire—artists who helped define the genre through lyrics focused on resistance, identity, and social justice. Tracks like “Grândola, Vila Morena,” “Trova do Vento que Passa,” and “A Cantiga É Uma Arma” reflect the role of music during and after the Estado Novo regime, offering commentary wrapped in folk-inspired melodies and poetic language.

The selection also spans newer interpretations and collaborations, blending traditional influences with updated production and arrangements. Songs from Camané, Diogo Piçarra, and Pedro Abrunhosa sit alongside classics, bridging generations without losing sight of the genre's protest roots. From rousing anthems to introspective ballads, the playlist captures the evolution of Música de Intervenção while staying grounded in its original purpose—giving voice to the unheard.
