Royal Bermuda, hailing from Oeiras, Portugal, is fruit of a long-date friendship between two friends, who share the passion for Music, the Guitar, and the Bohemian lifestyle, and have the will to create something which would fill a void in the musical scene they believe exists. In January 2019 their first EP "Paraíso Cafajeste" was published, which presentation tour brought them to stages such as Casa da Música, Serralves, Teatro Ibérico, and Musicbox, and to festivals such as Boom Festival, Soam as Guitarras, Reverence Sons no Património, among others. In March and April 2022, respectivelly, they debuted the singles "À Antiga" and "Nha Preta", prenouncing the arrival of the long-promised album "Sempiterna", to be launched on the 30th of September 2022 and followed by a presentation 2022/23 Tour where they will be accompanied by the percussionist Duarte Loureiro.
Within their music many influences are felt and heard, making it difficult to define in musical genres their compositions; Alas, a term is proposed, named "Exótica Saudade" - roughly translated to "The exotic longing for someone or something". Sung by two wooden nymphs who were born into this world by the handcraft of André Parafina and Diogo Esparteiro with the purpose of humming lost and forgotten souls' chants who loiter around golden plains and eternal bays infused with nostalgia and Tradition. Without any prejudice to new horizons, they look for humbly paying homage to all of the universal sources of Inspiration and the most noble act of them all, the Creation.
Royal Bermuda brings the intimacy and proximity that is felt in secret musical get-togethers and in “Casas de Fado”, long after closing hours. Tranquilly and with the company of a bottle of wine, they embrace the covenant of causing the disremembering of earthly problems, taking whoever listens with them into a most vivid dream, where there is no spoken word to shorten the way nor to create controversial opinions. Under the service of the Music itself, they propose a soundtrack to the present collective, which will serve each one in a unique and personal way.
