Portuguese Rock is a genre of rock music that originated in Portugal in the late 1960s. It is characterized by its heavy use of electric guitars, drums, and bass, as well as its incorporation of traditional Portuguese folk music elements. It is often seen as a combination of traditional Portuguese folk music and the more modern rock sound. Portuguese Rock is often seen as a reaction to the oppressive political climate of the time, and its lyrics often reflect themes of freedom and rebellion. It has been a major influence on the Portuguese music scene, and has spawned a number of subgenres, such as punk rock, metal, and alternative rock.
