Danças Ocultas musical quartet is among the most innovators and the most emotional representants of portuguese contemporary music. The group has been progressing in the international World Music panorama, with a very simple concept: calm, lyrical and intimate, somewhere between the traditional and the contemporary surroundings. Playing just four diatonic accordions, Artur Fernandes, Filipe Ricardo, Filipe Cal and Francisco Miguel are they the musicians that make up the musical quartet Danças Ocultas. Its name, Dancas Ocultas, comes from the fact of they were creating a kind of music for which the dancing was not yet invented. The inspiration comes from chamber music, from Nuevo Tango, and from other urban tradicional music environments. “Impressionist Folk” is perhaps the best label for this kind of timeless art music: minimalism, deep sound paintings full of unexpected twists and noble melancholy. A very special music – it’s impossible to escape from its magnetism.
