Minta & The Brook Trout ao vivo no louva-a-deus
S T R E T C H, is the name of Minta & The Brook Trout’s fifth album: a release drawn out between two summers: from July 2024, when ‘Cantaloupe‘, the first single, appeared, to September 2025, when the record will finally be released as a whole.
In between came ‘Random Information’, with an exquisite video by Miguel Bonneville, nominated for the Curtas de Vila do Conde, and ‘Please Make Room For Me Please’, a duet with the sweet-voiced singer-songwriter Shelley Short.
For now, to complete the cycle that was started a year ago, we leave you with summery ‘Cantaloupe’. Live at louva-a-deus, Minta & The Brook Trout is: Francisca Cortesão, Mariana Ricardo, Margarida Campelo, Tomás Sousa and Afonso Cabral.

Francisca Cortesão: vox, electric and acoustic guitar
Mariana Ricardo: bass
