ARTE SONORA
Making Culture
Making Communication as a form of Art
With over 15 years of editorial history, Arte Sonora began as a music media platform and gradually expanded into complementary areas including concerts, workshops, and events, as well as increasingly offering integrated services. Today, it is more than just an art- related brand, it is a cultural hub that includes social media, a recording studio, multimedia production, and cultural experiences, and with an artistic community.
Arte Sonora operates across 4 main pillars:
Communication, Studio, Content Creation and Live
COMMunication
With a cross-functional team of journalists, copywriters, photographers, video editors, and music producers, we give a stage to major national and international artists through interviews, reports and coverage of major events – on two main channels: daily news on the website and collectible content in the magazine. Arte Sonora offers a historical and cultural archive that traces the evolution of the music industry in Portugal, has accompanied the emergence and growth of the biggest festivals and the boom of artists, often from their early careers to international success.
The Collectible Magazine
Published annually, the printed magazine is aimed at an audience that values information. With a distinctive graphic design, it offers brands and products visibility in a premium and elegant format, while remaining independent and rigorous, guided by the high standards and quality its readers have long associated with it.
The commitment to print is tied to the nature of many of ARTE SONORA’s content: major exclusive interviews with renowned artists, research and opinion articles written by leading industry figures, and in- depth analyses of musical instruments, records, and concepts – topics that remain timeless and that our readers have expressed an early interest to preserve in a collectible printed format.
Website
The website (www.artesonora.pt) follows the music industry daily, proudly showcasing the best of what’s happening in Portugal and around the world. It also highlights behind the scenes professionals, who are the key to artists’ success. Producers, roadies, sound and lighting technicians, promoters, agents, associations, and public institutions all have a place on Arte Sonoras’s platform. It is a hub for news, knowledge sharing, discussion, best practices, and cultural initiatives.
From musicians to musicians. From fans to fans. Together, we make ARTE SONORA.
Coldplay, Queens of the Stone Age, Bjork, Metallica, Beyoncé, Pearl Jam, Nick Cave, Arctic Monkeys, Rolling Stones… are just some of the hundreds of international artists that have appeared on Arte Sonora, through interviews, reports, or photography. We’ve also accompanied top Portuguese talent like Ana Moura, Jorge Palma, Da Weasel, The Gift, David Fonseca, Xutos & Pontapés, Moonspell on stage, on tour, or in the studio.

Roland FP-30X Campaign
What we did
A series of videos highlighting the specifications and performance of Roland’s digital pianos.
We invited a Portuguese pianist and author Margarida Campelo to show us what makes this model a best-seller.
Live X
Art is emotion. That’s why more and more brands are investing in the connection of the most diverse forms of art for their activations with their audience. Music stands out as it creates immediate positive associations. From concerts to talks, under the Arte Sonora brand and with our experienced and transversal team, with a lot of rock’n’roll, we’ve been challenged to create all kinds of musical industry experiences.
We make it better. We make it louder. We make it funnier.
Quinto Andar Concerts
What we did
An exclusive concert series under the Arte Sonora label, featuring artists like Da Chick, D’Alva, and Miguel Ângelo, among others, to take part in a series of intimate mini acoustic showcases. The audio was recorded live by technical director Paulo Basílio, and each artist was challenged to present a new song – or completely renewed musical arrangements!
