Fred Frith, voix, guitare électrique
Maria Portugal, voix, batterie, percussion

Fred Frith — a living legend at the crossroads of rock, jazz, improvisation, and composition — meets Brazilian drummer, singer, and composer Mariá Portugal. Active in the Brazilian music scene for over 20 years and now based in Berlin, Por-tugal has forged strong ties with Europe’s improvised music community. Her deep roots in the Brazilian singer-songwriter tradition, combined with a sharp interest in electronic music and improvisation as a tool for song composition, make her an artist who thrives across diverse musical contexts. This duo is a stroke of luck: if contemporary European music has produced a truly legendary and globally significant figure in the space where all stylistic boundaries dissolve, it is surely guitarist Fred Frith. Coming from different continents, gener-ations, and musical worlds, Portugal and Frith reveal on their debut album just how much they share — and how electrify-ing their common ground can be.
