Moçoilas, is formed by four women, singing a capella, songs from an ancient Portugal. They started by recovering some traditional music from Algarve and Alentejo (Southern Portugal), always adding their original touch. Their repertoire integrates, mostly, popular traditional songs of these regions, fertile on love stories or even on social critics.
Their songs reveal all the glory and splendour from the Portuguese traditions with an utterly simplicity.
Moçoilas have performed all over Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Usa and Germany.
Their repertoire began with the material that they "stole" from the ancient; they adopted and reinterpreted all the traditional culture and blended it with some tones from today and, very soon, they realized that they had everything to do their music: they had the will, the smells, the tastes, the colours, the sounds and the inspiration of the mountain to create their own compositions. The result?.... A huge success
