This is a lovely selection! The English entries except Change don't seem to belong here para mi :thinking:

So Rita Rocha, Nena, Perpétua, Iolanda & João Borsch and Noble qualified. Pretty good set except losing Mela :(

The final lineup adds Buba Espinho, Cristina Clara, Leo Middea, No Maka feat. Ana Maria, Rita Onofre and Silk Nobre from SF2!

 

Pretty good set again! I only lost Pe De Choro and Agua from my top 10

Portugal coming to save the night yaurrrrrr

Again, a really solid set!
