O Conjunto Zodiac

About Me

Our Story
Z o d i a c was founded in 1994 with the idea of making music that was their own, and different from the norm. Their signature sound consists of intense drum beats, melodic vocals, fierce rhythms, and a tight horn section. The group boasts 8 members including a keyboardist/lead vocalist, bassist, lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist, drummer, percussionist, and 2 piece horn section. They've become the blueprint for many bands to follow, and have proven to be an ideal antidote for the typical Portuguese music being produced at the time.
Zodiac has churned out 4 original CDs, as well as a compilation CD. Their latest CD, Mentirosa, has received critical acclaim from fans and the media. Over the years Zodiac has sold thousands of CDs and performed for thousands of adoring fans.
The group is currently in the studio working on their 5th studio album which they hope to release in late 2009.
