These five men from Portugal like to keep it instrumental. As far as they are concerned, singing is not necessary when you have drums, bass, synths, samplers and a DJ. Orelha Negra (trans: black ear) use a lot of music history, ranging through the roots of black music such as jazz, soul, funk, groove and hip hop, and a dose of Portuguese culture, in all of their music. These influences, the irresistible urge to dance they invoke and a fresh collective sound makes Orelha Negra unique.
