The second day of the festival had several interesting moments: Diego Miranda, Nelson Freitas, Rui Veloso, Mizzy Mile and MC Livinho on the main stage, but Bateu Matou and Maninho were also in great form on the Bandida do Pomar stage.
After several fantastic concerts on the opening day, yesterday we also had several points of interest, it was up to Diego Miranda to open the Sagres stage, one of the biggest Portuguese DJs and producers and a big name on the world electronic scene.
Recognized for his high-quality productions and electrifying sets, he has earned a prominent place among the world’s DJs, consistently occupying high positions in the DJ Mag rankings.
His works, such as “Nashville” (in partnership with Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike) and “Boomshakalak”, reached the top of the charts and became anthems on the dance floor. Diego Miranda has performed at the biggest festivals and clubs in the world, presenting his music to an increasingly wider audience and winning over fans with each show.
It has the merit of having brought electronic music closer to the general public, making it more accessible and popular. He is a constant presence in DJ Mag’s Top 100 and in the ranking of the 100 best DJs in the world, demonstrating his relevance and influence on the electronic scene.
He opened and heated up an already very hot environment with temperatures well above 35º, but there was no shortage of people who danced to the rhythm he set on the Sol stage.
Then it was the turn of the King of Zouk and Kizomba. Nelson Freitas, singer, composer and music producer, is known as one of the world’s biggest names in zouk and kizomba.
Born in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, of Cape Verdean descent, Nelson Freitas carries with him the cultural richness of Cape Verde, combined with the musical influence of Europe. His musical style is a fusion of zouk, kizomba, R&B and hip-hop, creating a unique and infectious sound that continues to win fans worldwide.
With an extensive discography and hits such as “Maria”, “A Tua Presença” and “Se Eu Te Perder”, Nelson Freitas is one of the most listened to and acclaimed artists in Lusophone music, but who transcends the borders of the Lusophone space, uniting people from different backgrounds cultures through dance and the celebration of life.
As expected, the King dominated the stage at Caparica and spread joy and good feelings during his show, with the many fans who filled the festival space to see him, dance and sing with him.
After a King, the father of Portuguese Rock took the stage, Rui Veloso, a legend of Portuguese music, is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in national music, with a career that spans decades, he won the hearts of the Portuguese with its poetic lyrics, engaging melodies and striking interpretations.
Born on July 30, 1957, in Lisbon, he grew up in Porto and started playing the harmonica from a young age. His debut album, Ar de Rock, released in 1980, was a significant milestone in Portuguese music, with the success “Chico Fininho”.
But many songs have become popular, “Porto Sentido”, “Não Há Estrelas no Céu” and “Todo o Tempo do Mundo” are just a few that are part of the lives of all generations of Portuguese. Veloso’s music mixes rock and blues, and once again yesterday, at O Sol da Caparica, he won over everyone present, a mix of generations, many not yet born when “fininho” took to the streets.
Mizzy Miles followed, one of the most promising names in Portuguese urban music, with a unique style and contagious energy, he is quickly winning over young audiences.
Mizzy Miles is not only a singer but also a talented producer. His music is marked by strong beats, direct lyrics and a modern aesthetic. He can create hits that quickly go viral, gaining millions of views on digital platforms.
In a short career, Mizzy Miles has already collected several awards, being recognized as one of the greatest artists of his generation. His collaborative work with other artists has also been a factor in public and critical recognition.
In addition to music, Mizzy Miles is an influential figure on social media, where she shares her personal life, music and lifestyle with millions of followers. He represents a new generation of artists who use digital platforms to interact with their fans, just like yesterday at the festival, few didn’t know his lyrics, singing with him.
With the second night of the festival ending on the main stage, it was time for another King to take the stage, MC Livinho, the King of Brazilian Funk. Oliver Decesary Santos, is one of the biggest names in Brazilian funk, with his style and lyrics that quickly won over the public, he became a phenomenon in Brazilian popular music.
Born in São Paulo, MC Livinho began his musical career at a young age, and quickly gained prominence with hits such as “Mulher Kama Sutra”, the song won millions of fans throughout Brazil and abroad and whenever it is present on stages outside of Brazil, he has a legion of fans supporting him.
Yesterday he closed the second day of the festival on the Sagres stage in the company of many Brazilian and Portuguese fans, who were delirious with his presence, there were long screams from the public, bordering on hysteria, while he was on stage, but there was still more to see at the festival.
The other three spaces also had points of interest. On the Almada stage, we had M.A.C (Mission to Fulfill), Tontos and Palavra Futuro, while on the Costa stage, we could see Ganso and Jazzy and MC.
The Bandida do Pomar Stage had humorous performances by Guilherme Ludovice, Tiago Almeida and Luana do Bem, followed by shows by Bianca Barros, Ronny Fuego and the fantastic Bateu Matou, who always enters a high rhythm in every show, where joy and music make everyone dance and sing from start to finish, this dynamic Portuguese musical project known for its unique mix of rhythms and energetic performances, features three talented drummers, Ivo Costa, Quim Albergaria and Riot.
They combine traditional percussion with electronic beats to create a vibrant, danceable sound. His best-known tracks are “Bandido” with Pité, and “Falam Bué” among many other songs that spread the party throughout the venues.
The stage closed with Maninho, a versatile talent who conquered Portugal. Phelipe Ferreira is a Brazilian artist who lives in Portugal and who quickly stood out in the Portuguese music scene, his versatility as a guitarist accompanying big names in Portuguese music, but also as a singer.
Maninho began his career in Portugal as a guitarist, accompanying Mariza, Héber Marques and Bárbara Bandeira. His skill with the guitar and his love for music led the artist to explore new paths, and in 2021 he released his first single under his name, “Pode Tentar”.
The song was an instant success, reaching Triple Platinum status and consolidating Maninho as one of the most promising talents in Portuguese music. His soul and R&B voice, combined with lyrics that talk about love, overcoming and hope, won over audiences of all ages.
Maninho’s versatility is one of his greatest attributes. He moves easily between different musical styles, from pop to soul, from R&B to fado. Furthermore, his charisma and stage presence make him a complete artist.
With just a few years of career as a singer, Maninho has already achieved a prominent place in the Portuguese music scene. His music is marked by positivity, energy and a message of hope, making him an inspiring artist for many.
