Cantigas de Maio - Cantigas de Maio

"Cantigas de Maio" is a project that revisits, celebrates, and reimagines the legacy of Portuguese protest and intervention music, rooted in the 1970s and in struggles for freedom, dignity, and social justice.

The group interprets iconic songs with a contemporary approach that honours the poetic and political strength of the original repertoire while introducing new colours, arrangements, and musical sensibilities. In this album, tradition and modernity coexist naturally, creating bridges across generations and contexts. "Cantigas de Maio" is both an act of living memory and a contemporary artistic statement, breathing new life into some of the most essential songs in Portuguese cultural history.
