ABOUT
Kiko & The Blues Refugees is a sort of supergroup formed by experienced and renowned musicians from the Portuguese music scene, mixing blues with different styles: the new blues from the old school. In 2 years, they have achieved what many bands can't in many years, and that is creating a distinctive sound based on the blues and soul heritage of American music but with a focus on current events. The band is sensational, living with energy, creativity, and an understanding of the music they love and respect. Is it blues? Is it soul? Is it funk or rock 'n' roll? Who knows? Who cares? It's good music, great music, honest music.
After the debut album "Threadbare" was enthusiastically received by critics and audiences alike, the Oporto band is back in the studio recording their new album, with the new single scheduled to be released in November. The lineup is made of experienced and talented musicians like António Mão de Ferro (guitars), Jorge Filipe Santos (keyboards), Carl Minnemann (bass), João Cunha (drums), and Kiko Pereira, the Newark-born Portuguese singer-composer and producer whom music critic José Duarte called the best male voice in jazz and blues in Portugal.
In 2022, the band released the videos for the songs "Fake News" and "Sugar for Your Instagram," both directed by Alberto Almeida, and have been busy with concerts all over the country, culminating in a tour with legendary steel pedal musician BJ Cole. Cole, interviewed for TSF radio in Portugal, said that he was thrilled to play with a band that he considers to be one of the most fascinating bands he has ever played with.
