"Trovante" started in the summer of 1976 in Sagres, when a group of friends (João Nuno Represas, Luís Represas, Manuel Faria, João Gil and Artur Costa) got together to make music. In 1977 they recorded their first record Chão Nosso, with an heavy political (leaning towards communism) content and a traditional Portuguese sound. Throughout the years they have grown to be immensely popular, to the extent of having reunited for a last, and memorable, concert by request of former Portuguese President Jorge Sampaio.
