Bárbara Tinoco is one of the most important voices in the new wave of Portuguese pop. She rose to fame in 2018 through the show *The Voice Portugal*, and her first original single, *Antes Dela Dizer Que Sim*, quickly gained widespread recognition among the public.
Since then, she has released several hits and the albums *Bárbara* (2021) and *Bichinho* (2023), cementing her place in contemporary Portuguese music. Her work has been recognized with numerous awards, including the PLAY – Portuguese Music Awards and a Globo de Ouro.
Bárbara Tinoco has performed at some of the country’s most prestigious venues, including the MEO Arena, becoming the youngest Portuguese artist ever to sell out this iconic venue. Her music combines emotional honesty, humor, and deeply personal lyrics, winning over a vast and loyal fan base.
Singer-songwriter Chico Chico is one of the most authentic and distinctive voices of the new generation of Brazilian music. Since the start of his career with the band 2x0 Vargem Alta in 2015, he has built a career filled with acclaimed projects, including the song “A Cidade” (nominated for a Latin Grammy), his collaboration with Fran Gil (with over 23 million streams on Spotify), and the album *Pomares* (also nominated for a Latin Grammy). The son of the legendary Cássia Eller, Chico honors this family legacy while forging his own artistic identity, marked by collaborations with artists such as Maria Bethânia, Nando Reis, and Zé Ramalho.
At the LusoSonic Festival at Moods, Chico Chico will present his new album *Let It Burn – Deixa Arder*—an intense, multifaceted work that reflects his artistic range and brings together a wide variety of influences. Moving between romantic, intimate moments and powerful, genre-blending songs, he explores blues, folk, Brazilian rhythms, gospel, and milonga. Original compositions meet reimagined classics, while Pedro Fonseca’s production and collaborations with renowned musicians lend the album additional depth. The album reflects Chico Chico’s current artistic identity—raw, multifaceted, and full of expressiveness.
