Vozes da Rádio (dt about: voices from the radio.) Is a Portuguese a cappella - Pop - band from Porto .

Band history

The group was founded in Porto in 1991 as a pure a cappella project consisting of four voices and a standing bass. They released their first recording in 1994 on the tribute project for José Afonso . Their first album was released in 1995. Bruxas, Heróis e Males d´Amor (English: witches, heroes and love afflictions), which was counted among the ten best albums of the year by the daily Público . Over the course of their careers they increasingly incorporated more instrumentation into their music. They are now a vocal ensemble that produces acoustic pop music with guest musicians, with an emphasis on harmonious, mostly polyphonic singing. They mostly interpret their own compositions, but occasionally also re-arranged versions of international and Portuguese pop songs or Portuguese folk songs. Her versions of José Afonsos Índios da Meia-Praia (1994), GNRs Efectivamente (2002) or Christmas carols from her album Natal (2003) are well-known examples.

In addition to her humor, her often ironically broken relationship to the singing and performance of classic international entertainers is a key feature of her work. They are not tied to one genre, and have performed accordingly with other artists, including the Cape Verdean singer Sara Tavares , the Brazilian Ivan Lins , or the Portuguese Dulce Pontes and Paulo de Carvalho .
