Abatanado Band is a musical project named after the traditional Portuguese coffee drink "abatanado". Serious topics of modern life in Portugal are presented with musical humour and self-irony.

The music of Abatanado Band is a fusion of traditional Portuguese music with contemporary genres: indie rock, electronic, and hip-hop. Portuguese guitars are featured, but synthesizers are used in the arrangements. The lyrics are in Russian, offering an outsider's perspective that sees Portugal with fresh eyes, but with understanding and love. Genre: Alternative / Indie / World Music
Mood: Ironic, melancholic, observant
Language: Russian (with Portuguese motifs in the music)
For whom: For those who love Portugal and understand that the funniest jokes are those that contain a grain of truth and a touch of sadness.
