MU is a Portuguese band that began its musical route in 2003.
Searching for fusion and experimentation within the traditional
music, this group is distinguishing with many music styles. With
MU you can travel to several different cultures and
traditional/fusion sounds. Its members play various instruments
from all over the world. India, Switzerland, Egypt, Brazil,
Morocco, Australia, among others, are the regions from where the
instruments of MU come from. This instrument diversity brings
this group to a travel between a lost world and actuality, which
allows it to rescue beautiful sounds from these ancient worlds.
Between flying dances, feminine voices and diverse instruments,
MU's alive show is a moment of contagious enjoyment, moment
where the energy flies throughout the air and rushes the body to
dance in a limitless world.
MU has already three records: Mundanças (2005), Casanostra
(2008) and Folhas que Ardem(2012).
MU already have about 200 live shows in Portugal mainland and islands, Spain, Croatia, Romania, England, Sweden, Poland and Malaysia, and also won the contest of folk music "Arribas Folk" and Carlos Paredes Prize.
The six faces of this group share a common... to make everybody
dance!

To talk about MU and not
about the importance of the "passage" would be to limit life to
its transitority. Surely, there would be much more behind the
door…
Inconformed, they rose.
They reinvented colors and flavours and, sharing affection, they
decided to go in search of dreams. Deeply in sintony with earth,
they danced in circle.
They traveled on donkeys’ backs on the paths of Sendim. They
enjoyed "Andanças", they were kings in "Arribas" and "Sin
Fronteras" and generated "Mundanças".
They were, are and will be MU,
nomads by thought, musicians by passion, true friends.
Five years have passed and they grew more mature, their roots
are burried deeper, watering them with the purest water and
their tradition bloomed.
They asked me to talk about MU
and I was compelled to talk about gratitude.
Walk, senderos, and sow your seeds.
Paulo Mosqueteiro
