About

Homens da Luta (English: Men of the Struggle) were a Portuguese improvisational comedy and musical street performance duo consisting of brothers Nuno Duarte ("Neto") and Vasco Duarte ("Falâncio"). Their songs are a parody of protest songs sung during the period that followed the 1974 Carnation Revolution, and the characters played are caricatures of the revolutionary singers of the time, such as José Afonso and José Mário Branco. Homens da Luta often used the term luta (which means "struggle" or "fight") to invoke slogans that became famous during the Portuguese revolutionary period, such as "A Luta Continua" (The Struggle Goes On).

In 2010, Homens da Luta released a 14-song album named A Canção é uma arma (The song is a weapon). It was physically released as an MP3 Player, which they called the "LPOD", short for "Luta-Pod", as a parody of the iPod.

Homens da Luta (Des hommes de lutte) est un groupe de musique portugais fondé par deux frères: Vasco Duarte (Falâncio) et Nuno Duarte "Jel" (Neto). Ses chansons ont souvent pour thème les luttes révolutionnaires. Ils sont apparus pour la première fois dans des séquences improvisées sur une chaine portugaise, avec des sketchs inspirés par la révolution des Œillets[réf. nécessaire].

Après une première tentative en 2010, le duo représente le Portugal à l'Eurovision 2011 à Düsseldorf en Allemagne avec la chanson A luta é alegria (La lutte est allégresse).
