Comitiva Charlie - Releasing a rock album in Portuguese

Comitiva Charlie is a Portuguese hard rock band who has just recorded their debut album and seeks the help of the public to finance the album's production and licensing (copyrights).

Comitiva Charlie is a portuguese rock band (who sings in Portuguese) that has just recorded its first album, "Mil Voltas ao Contrário". It consists of 13 songs sung in Portuguese and has a sound influenced by the so-called classic hard rock but that also manages to have a modern and refreshing sound.

At this stage, we only need one step so that our album is ready to be released to the Portuguese market: the financing for the production/duplication of CDs and for the licensing (copyrights).

We have used this crowdfunding campaign because we believe that it is the most transparent way for musicians to present their music to the public and also for the final listener to know and support music directly and without intermediaries. Thus, all those who will collaborate in our campaign will have direct responsibility in launching a Portuguese rock act. And in practice, this turns out to be a PRE-PURCHASE of the album because every person who collaborates in our crowdfunding campaign is making sure that they get a record. It is therefore not a mere request for fundraising. And of course ... it should be noted that if the full amount is not raised within the set deadline, the platform returns the value to the supporters so this is a secure funding, without any loss to the supporters.

So we count on you! On the right side of this page you can see the various ways you have available to support us. They all have different rewards.

About the author

Comitiva Charlie is a Portuguese rock band (who sings in Portuguese).

Although driven by a classic rock - well based on catchy guitar riffs and a simplicity and authenticity in terms of musical structure - that, in recent years, seems to have been overlooked by the recent musical bands released in Portugal, Comitiva Charlie do not present themselves as a classic or revivalist rock band. Instead, they consider themselves "a band that will seek influences on classic rock but at the same time wrap it up in a modern and current sound." The icing on the cake is that the songs are all sung in Portuguese. And taking into account the Portuguese musical panorama, this promises to be one of the great gifts that this band has to offer. "The bands that are singing in portuguese don't play this kind of music ant the ones who play this kind of music, don't sing in portuguese", they aknowledge.

With the voices assumed by Miguel Bugalho, guitars assured by Henrique Pedro and Filipe Gomes and the rhythm section secured by Telmo Estrelado on bass, and Hugo Pinto on drums, this collective from the city of Lisbon and South Board of Tagus River, promise that the Portuguese hard rock fans won't be disillusioned or indifferent.
