About
Hooked on music, independent in making it.
Kimahera was founded in 2005 in Armação de Pêra by Pedro Pinto (Reflect). Since then it has become one of the Algarve's main meeting points for musicians, from people recording their first demo to artists with years on stage.
It started with hip-hop, but the work goes well beyond labels and genres. Artists who have passed through the studio have gone on to play big stages all over Portugal, and that track record is what makes Kimahera a reference today.
Kimahera is also an independent record label. Listen on Spotify (opens in a new window)
