This Lisbon-based trio โ composed of Dรฉbora King (synths and vocals), Tiago Martins (bass and samples), and Joรฃo Neves (drums) โ operates at a rare intersection where contemporary jazz, experimental electronics, and songwriting in Portuguese dissolve into one another. Their sound invites comparisons but resists classification: there are traces of future soul, beat science, modern improvisation, and something wholly their own.
Samalandraโs internal chemistry is its secret engine. Tiagoโs propulsive basslines serve as both groove and launchpad; Dรฉboraโs keyboards and effects construct harmonic tension while her voice bends the narrative toward the intimate and uncanny; Joรฃoโs drumming moves like shifting tectonic plates โ rhythmic but unpredictable, holding time only to reinvent it.
The trio plays with asymmetry and micro-structure, offering intricate polyrhythms that feel immediate and body-ready. Itโs music that smiles while pulling the rug out from under your feet โ inviting, layered, always alive.
