Luiz Caracol.
Influenced by the urban styles of Lisbon and music from other Portuguese speaking countries like Angola, Cape Verde and Brasil, Luiz Caracol and his quiet voice know how to get through to your soul. With his simplified accompaniment on guitar and percussion he attracts all the deserved attention.

Erros by Eléonor.
Erros, the somewhat mysterious title, combines the words ‘eros’ and ‘error’, in other words ‘love’ and ‘wrong’. It unfolds a story of passion and dangerous secrets, in which our imagination plays a principal part.
