With sophisticated echoes of Música Popular Brasileira (MPB), Tropicália, Afrobeat, folk rock, psychedelia and jazz, MOMO. 's music has always defied clear categorization - and Tum Tum Tum is no exception.
The album moves fluidly between moods and timbres: from the warmth of precise basslines to frenetic percussion, powerful horns and soaring strings. It reflects a career in which he has absorbed everything that has surrounded him - be it fado in Lisbon, the jazz scene in London or the psychedelic currents of 1970s Brazil that originally influenced him.
His gentle voice and cleverly crafted guitar lines form the common thread, transforming delicate melodies into the sound of an artist with a deep understanding of his own musical identity.
More than twenty years into his career, MOMO. sees this album as a tribute to the past two decades: "This album is a poetic elegy, a wink, a reminder of twenty years of music-making," he says. "The repetition of craft, resilience and the rhythm of constant development and hard work."
This career has taken him through Brazil, Angola, the USA, Spain, Portugal and now the UK. As MOMO. himself says: "Everywhere I've lived, I've absorbed what was around me and connected with different musical languages." And not just with musical languages - the album is sung in Portuguese and English.
Tum Tum Tum is warm, expansive and confident - the work of an artist who has stayed true to his craft long enough for it to become something instinctive and entirely his own.
MOMO. comes to the Hebebühne in Hamburg on 28.09.2026.
