In a basement on Madeira Island, Portugal, a group of friends forged a connection via music, blending the vigour of Arctic Monkeys and Red Hot Chilli Peppers with the melodies of The Beatles and the emotional depth of Caetano Veloso and Tom Jobim. Their music initially gained popularity on YouTube, surprisingly attracting listeners from far beyond their native island. Their first album, “Senso Comum”, was published in 2019. It was a straightforward yet catchy record that appealed to Portuguese audiences. The band's melancholy yet catchy sound gradually made its way into the country's musical landscape. A more sophisticated soundscape was unveiled by 2023 with their second album, “Logo Se Vê”, which combined romantic pop with complex rhythms and creative textures. It became clear that the band was eager to discover new paths within music. In 2025, the band released “Deslocado”, a smash hit that counts with nearly 100 million streams and that represented Portugal at Eurovision, followed by “Infinito”, in collaboration with Van Zee. With a new album scheduled for 2026 and a brand-new single in collaboration with Brazilian group Jovem Dionisio, NAPA's genuine sound promises to continue to captivate audiences all over the world.
