MARO is the pride of Portugal. And she’s proving it once again by representing her country at Eurosonic. We caught up with her during a session in an unusual venue: a cheese factory.

While the ESNS festival has a knack for unearthing musical nuggets from the Old Continent, it is also the ideal place for national stars to be discovered beyond their borders. Such is the case with MARO, who has charmed many of her compatriots with a style that moves between pop, fado, soul, folk and R’n’B.

After the 2022 edition of Eurovision, it’s via the ESNS festival that the musician will be showcasing the Portuguese music scene. The opportunity was just too good: we invited the Lusophone artist to take part in a session filmed in… a cheese factory. Undaunted, MARO lulls us to sleep with the track ‘something bout tomorrow’.
