A project that presents a new sound in the Portuguese music scene. Torga makes the fusion of original songs with different musical styles from around the world, keeping the spectrum of the popular voice and the traditional melody.

The influences are the result of the different experiences of the musicians who make up the band: the history of assimilation and appropriation of the languages of Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classical music, as well as the use of live electronics is channeled into a new Folk, well articulated and consistent.

The repertoire consists of original songs, containing original lyrics and poetic works from compelling authors in the Portuguese culture. Torga’s music is dramatic and in line with power of the show ensures an addictive live performance to any audience.

They come from the North, South, East and West. The winds that make us spin come from our country and others, bringing us the inspiration for the sounds that we create and re-create. They come from tradition but also from modernity.
Cataventos presents as a portuguese identity music project in which many different influences get along through the sensitivity and experience of its musicians: portuguese and other countries traditional music get together with other modern genres through portuguese traditional instruments such as bagpipes, traditional precussions, cavaquinho and campaniça guitar, to which the vocals are added, to create original compositions and re-create songs and music that already exist.
Cataventos. Anywhere the wind blows.
