Poplastik

”Olá, benvindos ao 86-60-86. O meu nome é Sofia Aparício”.

This was the key sentence said right after "poppa mundi" was played at the of a famouse TV fashion programme in Portugal presented by model/actress Sofia Aparício. "Poppa mundi" was taken from Pop Dell'Arte's album "Sex Symbol" and this was one of the best pop albums of the 90s made in Portugal.

So last time in Lisbon I bought their latest - Poplastik 1985 2006 which is the history of their music for the past 20 years in making Portuguese avant-garde pop.

I remember watching them on TV playing “Querelle”, one of their first singles when I was about 10 and thinking they were very silly – what did I know anyway?
