The Sol da Caparica Festival is back, with new “management” but some of the same vices, many stars for four days of music in Portuguese or made by artists who share the Portuguese-speaking space, a “world” of creativity and quality each time bigger, artists who give everything on stage so that fans and audiences have a fantastic night.
The first day featured Rich & Mendes, Chico da Tina, Calema, L7nnon and Karetus on the main stage, Palco Sagres, a renovated stage with transparent side screens, which allowed you to hear the artist but also see the stunning “sunset” on the Costa horizon from Caparica.
Rich & Mendes, a duo of Portuguese DJs, with energetic performances opened the main stage, the official DJs from RFM, one of the main radio stations in Portugal. The duo has performed at major festivals and events in Portugal and internationally, sharing stages with big names such as Tiesto, Axwell and Armin Van Buuren.
Chico da Tina’s madness returned to Sol. The last time he was on the secondary stage, yesterday the madness was on the Sagres stage, he is a unique and popular artist from Portugal, especially among younger audiences, known for mixing traditional musical styles Portuguese like fado and pimba with modern trap beats.
His music often features humorous and satirical lyrics, making him a prominent figure on the Portuguese music scene. Some of his best-known tracks include “Põe-te Fino” and “Minho Trapstar”. Always equipped with many inflatable beach buoys, which he distributes to the public and many fans, who never miss a show by this artist.
Calema followed, who melted the hearts of the many fans who were present at Sol da Caparica, the musical duo composed of brothers António Mendes Ferreira and Fradique Mendes Ferreira, originally from São Tomé and Príncipe but based in Portugal, continue to conquer with their music, a captivating mix of African rhythms, Portuguese melodies and contemporary pop influences, everyone who hears them on Portuguese stages and around the world.
They win awards for each song released and reach the top of the charts everywhere, as well as on streaming platforms, the shows are full of fans wherever they go, winning over the public not only with their music but also with their humility and sympathy.
Their music stands out for its contagious energy, sincere lyrics and fusion of cultures, and on the first day of the festival, everyone was able to sing with them all of their hits, which achieved both success in Portugal and internationally.
The duo’s genuine connection and chemistry are evident in their performances and songs, “A Nossa Vez”, “Te Amo”, “Vai”, “Perfume”, “A Nossa Dança” and “Maria Joana” are some of the most known to the Calema, and everyone knows them by heart.
It’s L7nnon’s turn, the Brazilian star, Lennon dos Santos Barbosa Frassetti, a prominent Brazilian rapper and songwriter. Born in Rio de Janeiro, he gained recognition for his unique style and hits such as “Freio da Blazer”, “Perdição”, “Ai, Preto” and “Desenrola, Bate, Joga de Ladin”.
In addition to his music career, L7nnon is known for his passion for skateboarding, which often influences his artistic personality. His music mixes elements of rap with contemporary beats, making him a prominent figure in the Brazilian music scene.
The main stage closed with Karetus who continue to bring a lot of joy and invite everyone who attends their concerts to dance, the dynamic Portuguese electronic music duo, made up of André Reis and Carlos Silva, are known for their energetic performances and sound unique, which they describe as “Full Flavor” – a mix of various styles of electronic music without being confined to a single genre.
Some of his most popular tracks include “De Portugal Eu Sou” and “Liberdade”, the latter featuring the voices of Grupo Coral “Os Camponeses de Pias” and Paulo Ribeiro.
But the Festival has four stages with many points of interest. The Bandida do Pomar Stage had performances by Tiago Pereira, Pedro Sousa, Dário Guerreiro, Sérgio Onze, the always fantastic Irma who dazzles any audience with her sweet voice, King Bigs and energetic Fogo Fogo who closed the festival with African rhythms, ugly joy and good mood.
On the Almada stage, we had Mura and Stereossauro due to technical problems, the performance began after 5:30 p.m., Inês Bispo and Palavra Futuro, while on the Costa stage, we could see Napa, Jazzy and MC.

Editor’s note
The O Sol da Caparica Festival has had a new producer, for three years, after the previous producer had two out of three less successful editions, recalls from the public, artists and press, but a last edition in 2023, with nothing significant to point out It was hoped that the new “management” would have learned from the mistakes made, unfortunately the first day did not demonstrate this, there were several problems that arose during the day/night yesterday, let’s hope they are just that, first day problems.
