Abstract
Pioneers in performing international pop styles in Portugal, the group Herois do Mar initiated an historical revisionism of the Portuguese Discoveries, exalting both the spirit of crusade and the so-called Portuguese universalism. Assuming that audiovisual culture was a key element in the Portuguese cultural life in the 1980s, and that the Portuguese Discoveries found in pop music a new form of transmission and celebration, in this article I analyze the emergence of Portuguese nationalist pop through the practices, rituals, and discourses of Herois do Mar, a group that developed a peculiar relationship between pop music, nation, and the uses of History.
