The Urbanature project began in January 1996 based on the idea of ​​combining computers and musical instruments.

The first demo – “Volume 1” – caught the media’s attention, and Urbanature quickly began to captivate audiences and fans.

After the second demo tape – “100% Natural” – the Portuguese band was invited to play in the country’s most prestigious venues.

Urbanature played Festival Paredes de Coura, Hard Club, Queima das Fitas do Porto, Coimbra e Minho, FNAC (Porto and Lisbon), Noites Ritual, and many other stages.

In 1999, Urbanature released their debut album “Evergr33n” and became forever linked to the history of instrumental electronic music in Portugal.

In 2016, the Porto-based band reunited and, two years later, announced the release of “Flow.”

The album has already been listened to and downloaded in more than 45 countries and resulted in three singles and respective music videos.
