With an acronymic name that translates roughly to "let me lighten your mind, friend," D.A.M.A. has been a charming Mediterranean translation of American boy bands since forming in 2006. The Lisbon-based trio favour acoustic guitars, reggae rhythms, hand-clapping percussion and the occasional accordion. The soul-soothing smoothies sing harmoniously and rap earnestly about the importance of taking chances in love while staying true to yourself, providing empathetic life lessons all the while.
