Sitiados

Sitiados was a famous portuguese pop/rock band formed around 1987. The name Sitiados was taken from a song of another important portuguese rock band called Mão Morta. Their main goal was to establish a knot between pop and portuguese traditional music, just like the irish band The Pogues.

Sitiados main figure was the precociously deceased João Aguardela (1969-2009). Other musicians who composed Sitiados along the time were José Resende, Mário Miranda, Fernando Fonseca, Manuel Machado, Sandra Baptista, Jorge Buco, João Marques, Jorge Quadros, Ani Fonseca, Jorge Ribeiro, João Cabrita, João Marques and Samuel Palitos.
