Ornatos Violeta were an influential Portuguese alternative rock group whose music was informed as much by jazz and ska as the dominant guitar rock format of the time. 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 at the end of the 90's, despite the most successful part of their career lasting for only three years, ending when its members split up.

This track is called "Homem ao Mar" and it's part of my upcoming album "Nascer do Sol". Just wanted to drop it here so people hopefully give it a listen and tell me what they think.
I put the Spotify link to those who want to listen to it.more
