throes and the shine
The three members of Throes + The Shine use every impulse of creativity to build a unique style, which catalyzes an infectious energy that permeates their live performances. Hailing from Porto (Portugal) and Luanda (Angola), they base their sound on a fusion that began by mixing kuduro, music originating in Angola, and rock, and continued to expand to include influences from a multitude of cultures, from Africa to Europe, passing through the Caribbean, Asia and the USA. Dance, Afro-rock riffs and tropical bass also travel on their ship. The most avant-garde electronic sounds and ancestral African sounds are mixed with powerful rap lyrics and captivate the youngest audiences at major festivals. That’s why they are on the lineup of Primavera Sound in Portugal and have closed some evenings at others such as Vodafone Paredes de Coura. Throes + The Shine have always balanced the scales between the frenetic and overflowing nature of their live performances and their lyrics with the elegance and care of their designs and productions. In his fourth album, “Enza”, the partnership with Sony Music allowed the trio to reach a new level of quality and sonic maturity. In addition, in 2020, they were finalists at the RTP da Cançao Festival, the preliminary phase to represent Portugal at Eurovision. In 2024, the band will present “Kalunga” live, their new album full of vibrant singles such as “Larga”, “Drena” or “Tá Queimar”.
