Portuguese artist emmy Curl, born and raised in the high mountains of Vila Real, brings to life the ancient melodies of Transmontano and Celtic folklore that had long remained elusive. She is devoted to valuing and respecting Portuguese cultural heritage, weaving a modern sensibility and her unique performance style into the intricate rhythmic and harmonic layers of these traditions.
Pastoral, winner of the José Afonso Award 2025, is more than an album: it is a tribute to the cultural heritage of Portuguese folklore, a celebration of courage and love in difficult times. It invites listeners and music lovers to lose themselves and relax in the Pastoral atmosphere, which will resonate like the voices of the surrounding mountains.
