Lisa is what we call Lisbon. Lies is everything they’ve been told about it.

Somewhere between the postcards and the reality, that’s where Lisa Lies was born.

Formed in Lisbon by Dikas, alongside lifetime friends César Correia, Rúben Garção Silva, André Gomes, and Pedro Rodrigues, Lisa Lies is a collective shaped by the contradictions of one of Europe’s most romanticised cities: Beautiful. Restless. Impossible to pin down.

The band’s sound wasn’t designed to blend genres. The city had already done that for them. Jazz, funk, hip-hop, and electronic music aren’t influences here. They’re native languages, spoken by musicians who live in a city where cultures constantly overlap and reshape one another.

“We are the result of the fusion Lisbon offers. A city where Africa, Brazil, Europe, and America share the same street corner. The music is simply what that sounds like.”  Dikas

The result is groove-heavy and cinematic. Music that can fill a dancefloor and still leave something behind. Familiar enough to move with, unpredictable enough to stay with you.

Easy to listen to. Hard to forget. Impossible to place.
