1) TANTRA is a Portuguese rock band. The first album “Mistérios & Maravilhas” (1978) brought them to the public as an inovative and unique portuguese rock group .With their Sinfonic Progressive Rock show they played very successfully all over Portugal , their home country , for about one year , before they recorded their second album “Holocausto ” . It was acclaimed both by the media and the public and again they toured successfully for over one year and half . ” TANTRA ” ended shortly after they toured their third album ” Humanoid Flesh “.
Two Lisbon musicians , Manuel Cardoso and Armando Gama decided to invest in their love for Sinfonic Rock . Together , in 1975 , they established what would be the basic foundations of” TANTRA ” .The name of the group was chosen by Manuel Cardoso after his Raja Yoga meditation experiences and contact with Indian culture .
They assembled a first group of musicians with whom they recorded their first and only Single .
From this formation only the following musicians continued to the second phase ;
Manuel Cardoso ( electric guitar ) , Armando Gama ( keyboards ) and Américo Luis ( bass ).
It´s when Tó Zé Almeida joins the band , as fulltime drummer , that the real original formation of ” TANTRA ” comes toghether .
In 1977 ´s winter the band gives it´s first concert in CineTeatro da Encarnação in what was to be a memorable night for the band and the public .Everyone in the audience , including the media , was ecstatic with the bands music .
From that concert´s two track tape , remastered , the cd ” Live Ritual ” was edited .
