DYSTOPIA Miguel Ângelo trio
“Art was, is, and always will be both weapon and refuge.
In these dark times we inhabit, it is urgent to resist —
to reclaim the purity of simply being,
us and art, face to face, without noise or disguise.”
(Miguel Ângelo)
DYSTOPIA is the new album by the trio led by double bassist and composer Miguel Ângelo, released under the brand-new label +RECORDS.
Following the acclaimed UTOPIA, released in 2019, the trio — now featuring Luís Ribeiro on guitar and Mário Costa on drums — returns with a surprising and immersive work.
DYSTOPIA is more than just an album — it’s an intense, provocative, and deeply current sonic narrative.
Listen the debut single:
The album will be released on June 13, and the presentation concert will take place on June 17, at 9:30 PM at the FEUP auditorium. Free admission.

MODOS NOVOS
My new project with my friend is singing Kiko Pereira: KiMiKus
KiMiKus is the new jazz project that combines the resonant sounds of Prof. Mikelius (double bass player Miguel Ângelo) with vocals by the enigmatic Dr. K (singer Kiko Pereira).
The duo presents their debut album “Modus Novos”, which promises to be a sublime collection of poetic compositions, illustrated with a mini story in the form of a comic strip created with photos by Anabela Trindade and drawings by Yasmin Machado.
