Danças Ocultas (PT)

Artur Fernandes, Filipe Cal, Filipe Ricardo and Francisco Miguel form a unique quartet as Danças Ocultas. All over the world, they seduce and amaze their audience with the sound of the diatonic accordion, a sound they approach originally and explore with verve. The impressionistic music of Danças Ocultas has deep roots in Portuguese folk music, tango nuevo, classical music, and jazz. Live, the moods and emotions of their music become all the more powerful, enhanced by the sophisticated lighting design. Minimalist, profound soundscapes full of unexpected turns and compelling melancholy are the result. The long-awaited tenth album, Inspirar, appeared in May 2025 and immediately reached the top 10 of the European World Music Charts.
