DEOLINDA

With their first record, DEOLINDA has produced an irresistible work evoking the life of Lisbon. In the short period since the record was published at the end of 2008, Cançâo ao lado (‘song on the side’) has been a success and in the top positions of the charts. It has been Platinum record in Portugal and has obtained a Golden Globe award. Without doubt the secret of their success is in the exuberant form in which they present themselves in public with performances that are sometimes amusing and at others soft and sweet, with melancholic guitar melodies and references linked to the Fado and other traditional styles. The songs relate experiences, always thanks to the dynamic and charismatic singer, Ana Bacalhau who gives life to the stories of DEOLINDA.
