Inspired by the pop music of the 60s, Monstro transports us to a universe where melancholy is the raw material for intense and intimate songs. Gonçalo Ferreira and Isaac Oliveira, the two minds behind Monster, are long-time friends. They had been talking about making music together for a long time and the idea was growing and taking shape, but there was always something that kept them putting it off. Until, at the beginning of 2024, they finally decided to pick up the conversation and move forward.
They started exchanging ideas and composing the first songs that make up their debut album, which is being recorded with the support of Trabalho da Casa. Gonçalo and Isaac have enlisted the help of other well-known names on the Braga scene, such as Mafalda BS, David Ferreira (Gonçalo’s bandmate in Travo) and João Vitor Costeira (mutu). For the first time on stage – and an unmissable debut – we’ll see Monstro come to life before our eyes and ears. Those who know them know that this concert is promising; those who have yet to see them will have to take their word for it. That is, until we hear them for the first time. It’s coming soon.
For a decade, Trabalho da Casa has been a stage for local artists and a driving force in Braga’s musical production. With more than two dozen supported projects, gnration’s artistic creation program challenges musicians and bands to build new recordings and shows, starting from incubation in an artistic residency context with a final public presentation.
