New single featuring Dino D'Santiago

Last year, I had the privilege of collaborating with one of Lisbon’s most talented singer-songwriters, Dino D’Santiago. I first heard about Dino when I moved to Lisbon in 2012, through a video of him and Sara Tavares performing an acoustic version of Nos Tradiçon.

We eventually met a few years later through mutual friends and often crossed paths at the legendary "Na Surra" Enchufada nights. I followed his musical evolution and rise to fame as he collaborated with key figures of the Nova Lisboa movement, including Kalaf Epalanga, Branko, Paul 'Seiji' from Bugz In The Attic, Pedro, and many other brilliant artists. I was even part of his live band for a while, playing shows alongside Dino, Ellah Barbosa, and Ivo Costa on drums.

During that time, Dino and I worked together in my home studio in Alfama, where we recorded his vocals over an instrumental I had created. Ellah Barbosa joined in to add the finishing touches, completing the song. It premiered on Gilles Peterson’s BBC radio show and is now streaming on your favorite platform—enjoy!
