About
Ornatos Violeta are a Portuguese rock band from Porto. The band, often referred to simply as Ornatos, consists of vocalist Manel Cruz, bassist Nuno Prata, guitarist Peixe and drummer Kinörm. Elísio Donas was the band's keyboardist until his death in 2023.
Their main period of activity was between 1991 and 2002. Since then, the band has reunited twice: in 2012, when they played a few concerts across Portugal, and in 2018. This last reunion remains active as of 2023.
Ornatos Violeta, whose music is influenced by funk, jazz and ska, grew over the years to become a reference of Portuguese music of the late 1990s. The band has released two albums: Cão! in 1997 and O Monstro Precisa de Amigos in 1999, both highly acclaimed by the Portuguese press.

Ornatos Violeta est un groupe portugais de rock indépendant, originaire de Porto. Le groupe, dont le style musical comporte quelques autres tendances comme le ska, est composé par Manel Cruz (voix), Nuno Prata (basse), Peixe (guitare), Kinörm (batterie) et Elísio Donas (clavier). Ils font quelques réapparitions sporadiques en 2020 et 2021.
Avec seulement deux albums publiés, ils deviennent rapidement une référence dans la musique portugaise de la fin des années 1990, bien que la portion de leur carrière correspondant à leur plus grand succès n'ait duré que trois ans environ, avec la séparation des membres du groupe.
