Nove Ilhas is a Portuguese conjunto based in Central California, inspired by the culture, music, and traditions of the Azores. The name, meaning “Nine Islands,” pays tribute to the nine islands that shaped generations of Portuguese-American families and communities.

Blending traditional Portuguese sounds with a modern live energy, Nove Ilhas performs everything from classic dance favorites and folk-inspired songs to high-energy crowd anthems that bring people onto the dance floor. Their shows are built around community, celebration, and the kind of atmosphere where grandparents, parents, and younger generations all know at least one song by heart.

Whether performing at festas, weddings, community events, or festivals, Nove Ilhas aims to honor tradition while bringing new life and passion to Portuguese music in California and beyond.
