NAPA (PT)
PORTUGUESE LYRICS & MELANCHOLIC SPIRIT

NAPA’s sound evolved somewhere between the energy of the Arctic Monkeys and the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the melodies of the Beatles. Unexpectedly, YouTube helped their songs reach a wider audience and won over fans in Portugal and beyond. They swapped English for their native language and their grandmother’s basement for a recording studio.

2025 marked NAPA’s rise to become one of the most promising acts on the Portuguese music scene. With their hit “Deslocado,” they competed in the Festival da Canção—a song that had already racked up millions of streams even before the competition. They emerged as the winners and represented Portugal at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest. The track has since gone 4x platinum in Portugal and gold in Brazil, and was nominated for “Best Song” at the SIC Golden Globes.

The release of their third studio album is just around the corner. The band embodies a romantic pop DNA, paired with a drive to explore new rhythms and soundscapes. In this way, the Portuguese group effortlessly overcomes language barriers and is well on its way to making a name for itself internationally.
