The folk music band Caruma has existed for four years and is now preparing the second album. They are trying to take the Portuguese tradition, though it is hard to find at times, and remove it from the context of the globalized world. They are pursuing the goal using traditional Portuguese folk and simplified East Europe melodies that tell stories of unrequited love. Caruma is using its music to communicate what they find interesting, in a way they wish. They are offering the same opportunity to their listeners to whom they serve songs of free spirit and with no compromise.
