On October 13th there was a special one-off edition of Sofar Sounds in Portugal where 27 concerts took place simultaneously around 9 cities in Portugal, and guests were transported to secret locations being picked up in Mini vehicles. Venues were scattered throughout the country including Lisbon, Coimbra and Porto, and Lisbon Live travelled to Faro in the Algarve for an unforgettable night of music from three of the most exciting up and coming artists in Portugal! I chatted to vibrant electro-pop band Whales who are crafting a name for themselves in Portugal as one of the most exciting live bands around; Time For T who formed in Brighton (UK) fusing elements of folk, indie and Afro-rhythms; and the youthful Portuguese rapper Russa bursting with attitude and passion.
