Ever since the very beginnings of Portugal The Man, there has been a conversation centered around Portugal The Woman. As humanists, we have always strived to make art and music that resonates with all people from a universal spirit. Last summer, we wanted to take that conversation a step further. As a touring band that still couldn’t tour due to health and safety concerns, and with John out of town working on the vocals for the upcoming PTM album, we decided to take advantage of the moment by recording some tracks in Kyle’s basement with Zoe on lead vocals. The timing couldn’t have been better. As we were working on several 90’s covers for Brain Dead radio, we got a call to perform in support of the PDX March for Reproductive Rights. We jumped at the opportunity, and got to let Zoe shine on lead vocals during a 5 song Portugal The Woman set, and shared one of the most inspiring moments any of us have ever had on a stage. This track hopes to capture that spirit of hope and warmth. To paraphrase Kyle O’Quin; what are the chances that the best singer of the best band would cover the best song of 1997? Here’s Zoe Manville, doing her take on the Sublime masterpiece, Santeria. - Eric Available only as an Amazon Original on Amazon Music. Link in bio 📷: @maclayheriot
