Nova Canco

Nova Canço (or New Song) is a genre of music that emerged in Portugal in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is a fusion of traditional Portuguese folk music with elements of rock, jazz, and other genres. The lyrics often focus on social and political issues, and the music is often characterized by its use of electric guitars, drums, and other instruments. The genre was popularized by artists such as José Afonso, Carlos Paredes, and Zeca Afonso.
