About Pimba

Pimba is a popular Portuguese music genre, originating in the 1980s-90s. It is associated with rural culture and summer festivals, often featuring high-tempo, upbeat, simple, and accordion-driven catchy tunes.

The genre is named after the 1995 hit “Pimba Pimba” by Emanuel. It is frequently regarded as a “guilty pleasure” or, in a more critical view, a form of low-brow kitsch.
