Portugal’s Artnat have shared a new single, “Mistérios e Maravilhas / Mysteries & Wonders” — a studio mix of a live rehearsal recording, paying homage to one of the most celebrated tracks in Portuguese Progressive Rock history.
The piece is a tribute version of the title track from Tantra‘s debut album of the same name — a cornerstone of the Portuguese Prog scene and a record that earned the band a well-deserved place among the finest progressive acts in the world.

Artnat was formed by Manuel Cardoso, leader and guitarist of Tantra, with the band’s name itself being a mirrored reflection of its predecessor — a deliberate symbol of continuity with Tantra‘s Symphonic Prog legacy. The project brings together top-level musicians committed to meaningful, compositionally rich music: Sara Freitas (voice), João Samora (drums), Paulo Bretão (bass), João Parreira (keyboards), Guilherme da Luz (analog synths & synthesizers), and Manuel Cardoso (guitar).
Raw, Atmospheric, and deeply rooted in the Symphonic Prog tradition, this single is both an act of memory and a living statement of intent.
Lineup:
Sara Freitas / Voice
João Samora / Drums
