Musas Lusas is an exploratory conversation in live podcast format about Portuguese music and the songs and artists it inspires.

In each episode, Rui Portulez invites an artist to share the 10 Portuguese albums that most influenced their life and work, while they have a few drinks at Musa de Marvila. To listen to with a beer in your hand.

Ep. 1 - Rita Vian

In the first episode, Rui Portulez sat down with Rita Vian to talk about Amália Rodrigues and Sam The Kid, his cousin Boris and Operação Triunfo, his mother who wrote poetry and his grandmother who sang and the possible invasion of cashews in Portuguese music.

Listen to the first episode here or get to know Rita's Muses.

Ep. 2 - Ana Lua Caiano

Before heading off on her summer tour, we met up with Ana Lua Caiano in Marvila to exchange 10 nerds in playlist mode. The 10 Luscious Muses she brought us show us the songs she grew up with, the ones that influenced her work, the ones that made her think and all of them will make you want to keep them.

Lucky for you, it's all tucked away in a playlist. Listen to the conversation here.

Ep. 3 - Benjamin

The 10 LUSIAN MUSAS of Benjamin are a journey through the last few decades of Portuguese music. There's a bit of everything that's timeless, including reinterpretations, singles that the tip of the tongue loves and even a New Year's Eve comeback by Rádio Macau.

Discover everything on spotify or youtube and listen to Benjamim's choices in this playlist.

New episodes coming soon. ;)
