Portuguese pop innovator Tsunamiz has just released his brand new single “Os Bravos,” an exciting track from his 7th studio album “Behold the Man.” A new release is “Bailares,” Tsunamiz’s re-imagination of a traditional Azorean song injected with a mix of urban electronic beats, futuristic synthesizers, and rock vocals/guitars.
“Os Bravos” is much more than a song; it’s like a bridge carrying the legacy of traditional Portuguese music onto contemporary soundspaces. Tsunamiz, familiar for his boundless approach towards music, has yet again come up with a track that is more respectful to its native land but yet with a tinge of courage to be otherwise.
The song has historical value because to date, the original performance is known to have been delivered by none other than José Afonso—one of Portugal’s revered purveyors of political folk music who defied the country’s dictatorship-era censorship. “Os Bravos” holds a layer of deep social commentary wrapped within its lyrical simplicity, begging the question of societal norms around what is considered brave and strong.
Tsunamiz himself produces the song and carefully blends together a variety of musical ingredients to produce something that is not just fresh but, at the same time, something that is old but still fresh. From this evident quote of an artist, one gets the idea that he wants to fuse the past with the present, hence literally giving birth to an incomparable sound that venerates tradition but gets along with modernity.
The group’s work “Os Bravos” has now been added to all music streaming platforms in the world to allow people to have a little bit of a redo of Portuguese contemporary music production of their Portuguese cultural inheritance.
Tsunamiz continues to push the genre and tradition with Os Bravos, sure to offer more innovative musical explorations on his forthcoming album, Behold the Man. As Tsunamiz redefines the outlines within modern Portuguese music can be drawn, he invites the listener further to explore the depth and complexity of the musical vision, sure that the lines of such traditional tunes will still be found sounding in the global scene of today.
