ZéDosFrangos formed at the beginning of 2007 when they were invited to play their pop version of european world music regularly at a local venue in Lisbon. The group is a colorful combination of Spanish, American, and Swiss musicians that met in Portugal and have been playing together since 2006. They hope to release their first studio recording in 2008 in between the various other projects that they work with. Please see their side projects including AA Tigre, -IX, and Japanese Carwash.
