Grupo Pilón

El Palmas Music proudly announces the release of Nu Sta Li, the new album by Grupo Pilón, a Luxembourg-based band that has been breathing new life into Cabo Verde’s music scene since the 1990s.

With funaná at the core of their sound, the group honors the rich musical traditions of their homeland while delivering an updated, energetic, and sensual version of the genre for today’s global audiences.

Following in the footsteps of influential groups like Bulimundo, Grupo Pilón modernizes funaná with a dynamic lineup that incorporates drums, guitar, bass, keyboards, and vocals. Led by drummer Tony Furtado Gomes—instrumental in the band’s recent revival—the group blends traditional elements with contemporary flair.
