ABOUT
Starting in 2000, Ginga was early marked by musical differences. Portuguese traditional themes collected in songbooks and performed by folkloric groups were associated with a rock language.

Electric guitar riffs contrast with a concertina that is as docile as it is aggressive. A strong beat is well marked by a powerful bass sound that makes the bed for phrases and harmonies of the keys.

Ginga has stepped onto some of the largest Portuguese stages, such as the Sendim Interceltic Festival, Festival Celtirock, FolkNova, Coimbra Academic Festival, Academic Theatre of Gil Vicente, Portugal Eurofolk, among many others.

It was in Spain that they earned greater recognition by winning the Eurofolk contest in 2004. The following years provided huge concerts in the neighboring country, sharing the stage at several festivals such as Etnosur, Ortigueira, Parapanda, OrceFolk, Olmedo Folk, and isolated concerts in several cities. Malaga, Granada, Jaen, Cordoba, Cáceres, Laredo, Carbajo are some of the many examples.
