It's another fantastic show from this band. The connection between them and the crowd is contagious and the 20-year gap between the songs and the age of most of the crowd isn't noticed at all!
As for me, they are my favourite Portuguese band and seeing my 12-year-old daughter and my 9-year-old son sing 60% of the songs tells me I doing a good job parenting!
Can't wait to see the next one from them!

Ornatos Violeta Biography
Ornatos Violeta were a Portuguese alternative rock group whose music included some other influences, such as jazz and ska. The band was formed in the city of Porto, in 1991.
With Manel Cruz (vocals), Nuno Prata (bass), Peixe (guitar), Kinörm (drums) and Elísio Donas (keyboard) and only two albums, they quickly became a reference in Portuguese music on the end of the 90's, though the most successful part of their career lasted only for three years, ending when its members split up.
History
In 1997 they composed Cão (Dog!) their first album - which included the song Letra S a duet with Manuela Azevedo, the vocalist of Clã (another successful Portuguese band) - an album where the group showed, for the first time, to be keen to explore a mixed sound, with Cruz's unique writing style, much to their fan's, and most of the national musical critics', delight. In the following year, during the Expo 98 they collaborated in the compilation Tejo Beat in which participated also Boss AC, Blasted Mechanism, Zen (band) and Flood (band) with the song Tempo de Nascer. Their last album, O Monstro Precisa de Amigos (The Monster Needs Friends), came out in 1999, with a more carefully-thought production, and generally speaking, a less active and calmer style. The album contained the singles Ouvi Dizer, a duet with the older Portuguese musician Vitor Espadinha, and Capitão Romance, with Gordon Gano, vocalist of the well-known Violent Femmes. It was also during that year that they helped to produce XX Anos XX Bandas, a tribute to the Portuguese band Xutos e Pontapés, with a cover of Xutos' song Circo de Feras.
After some speculation dealing with the group's future, the Ornatos Violeta splited in 2002. Fortunately for their fans, appeared Pluto, a more traditional rock group, with Manel Cruz (vocalist + second guitar) and Peixe (main guitar), and more recently SuperNada, currently recording their debut album.
