Matias Damásio
September 22, 10pm*

Born in Benguela province, Angola, Matias Damásio is a true example of resilience, dedication, and talent. Romantic by nature and always with his emotions running high, Matias captures the heart of Angola in his songs, expressing sincere and honest love in a manner so uniquely generous that it has made him an artist that is cherished by audiences in all Portuguese-speaking countries.

Ten years into his career, Matias Damásio took Portugal by storm in 2016 with the album "Por Amor" (For Love) and since then, "the whole world has been calling us crazy".  

* Note: Please be advised that table reservations at Lounge D are already sold out for the Matias Damásio concert. However, you can dine in one of Casino Estoril's other restaurants and watch Matias Damásio's show completely free of charge.

David Fonseca
September 23, 10pm

David Fonseca is one of Portugal's most charismatic songwriters. He shot to fame in the 90’s providing vocals for the much-loved band Silence 4. Their first album, "Silence Becomes It", was released in 1998 and the group quickly reached an unprecedented level of success with two multi-platinum albums. They toured for the last time in 2001 and went on hiatus until 2014, at which point they reunited for four special shows. In 2003, David Fonseca began his solo career with "Sing Me Something New", which quickly confirmed him as a unique creative force in music. To date he has released more than ten solo albums, the most recent being the album/film "Living Room Bohemian Apocalypse". In the collective record, he is involved in two projects that take a fresh look at the work of two pop culture icons - António Variações, with "Humanos", and David Bowie, at the beginning of 2017, with "Bowie 70". He has also developed a strong stage presence both in Portugal and abroad, which has always been highly impressive in visual terms. His live performances are memorable for all those who attend them, with their blend of multiple different media components, and his songs have long been a hallmark of some of the most important music that has been produced in Portugal - "Someone That Cannot Love", "Kiss Me, Oh Kiss Me", "Superstars", "Oh My Heart", "U Know Who I Am", "What Life Is For", or "Futuro Eu" are just a few of the songs composed by David Fonseca that linger in our imagination.

Calema
September 27, 10pm*

Calema are Portugal's biggest duo, formed by two brothers Fradique and António Mendes Ferreira, and they compose, write, and perform all of their own music.

They started singing at an early age and years later were contacted by Anselmo Ralph, who remarked on the two brothers' talent and invited them to take part in a Portuguese musical.

The duo continues to break the biggest records in Portugal, being the artists with the most views on YouTube and the most monthly listeners on Spotify.

They recently released the single "A nossa dança" (Our Dance), which has been a huge hit on all platforms and is also the name of their new tour.

A regular fixture on television, Calema plays more than 70 concerts a year and were voted the best Portuguese group in 2022 at the Play Awards.

* Note: Please be advised that table reservations at Lounge D are already sold out for Calema's concert. However, you can dine in one of Casino Estoril's other restaurants and watch Calema's  show completely free of charge.
