Expresso Transatlântico

The Expresso Transatlântico journey already has a lot of history to tell. On a musical journey between the influences of Portuguese tradition and contemporary global sounds, the project by Gaspar Varela, Sebastião Varela and Rafael Matos has been expanding territories and winning over audiences in all four corners of the globe. 

“Ressaca Bailada”, the debut album released in 2023, was one of the “Best National Albums” of its year, and has sold out theaters since its release. In 2024, the band also released a “concert film”, written and directed by Sebastião Varela and presented at the main Portuguese documentary film festivals. 

The group has just released the single “Flor de Trovão” as the first preview of the album scheduled for release in 2026. Produced by Paulo Furtado (aka The Legendary Tigerman), this new album promises to mark a turning point in the musical trajectory of the Transatlantic Express. 

Without losing the soul and the fusion of sounds that characterizes it, the Transatlantic Express explores new ways of reinventing itself and “Flor Trovão” paves the way for a new artistic phase.

Thus begins a new chapter in the journey of this Transatlantic Express, towards new soundscapes. Welcome aboard!
