Description
the virgin suta are naked figueiredo and jorge welcome. resident in beja, they were seen in a music contest by helder gonçalves, of the clans, and have been working with him ever since. On this debut album, you can understand what characterizes them and why they are pleasing to whoever listens to them.
because they do not rule out tradition, they perspire portugaity and take it. but they are so contemporary that the Portuguese root is only there because they have no other remedy. We have no doubt that if they were Spanish, they would play brown. So, they play steak and horsey because that's what's natural to them. to this ally an irony that appears to spaces, unsolicited, not of easy laughter, but of that which is only sketched after the message has been deconstructed.
are one of the great bets of the national music of the universal for 2009.
Artist
The story of Virgem Suta is not that of a regular band of today. They weren't discovered through Myspace and they did not use the information highways to conquer their thousands of fans. Making use of two guitars, voice and the 'boldness' of a handful of songs, with lyrical restraint, they took to other highways. They have lost count of the times they ran the country from south to north and from north to south again, and unlike your typical band they did not accept every little invitation to perform. No! Get used to it! Being in Suta is an elated state of being, living and thinking. They were virgins to the world of music and wanted to take all the time they needed to feel ready. They accomplished their goal it and offered us a wonderful debut. Ah! It must be said that the Virgin Suta are from Beja, south of Portugal... and there, time is a relative thing. With the ever present counselling and production skills of Hélder Gonçalves [known composer, producer and leader of one of the most charismatic Portuguese bands - Clã], Virgem Suta toiled very hard until they reached a point in their work they were pleased with. In that dozen songs that make up the disk, through repeated hearings, one can see the features that enrapture all those that come across them. Although contemporary, they don't discard tradition and their songs ooze with Portugality. Make no mistake, if they were Spaniards, they would play castanets. So, they play adufe and cavaquinho because it is natural to them. All this is alongside an irony that appears at times unusual and does not elicit an easy laugh, more like a slow grin that comes only after having de-constructed their messages. Virgem Suta are Nuno Figueiredo and Jorge Benvinda.
