Amor Electro are a Portuguese pop band formed in Lisbon in 2010. The first lineup of the group consisted of Marisa Liz (vocalist), Tiago Pais Dias (guitar and multi-instrumentalist), Ricardo Vasconcelos (keyboards), Rui Rechena (bass) and Mauro Ramos (drums).[1]

The band blends pop music and electronic music with Portuguese traditional music, using typical instruments like the accordion and Portuguese guitar.[2] They also revisit themes from the 1980s and the 1990s Portuguese pop/rock, playing versions of songs by Sétima Legião, GNR, Ornatos Violeta and other bands, besides their own original songs. The band's first album, Cai o Carmo e a Trindade, was released in May 2011, and reached the top of Portuguese sales charts soon after.[3] The second album, Яevolução, was released on 21 October 2013.[4]

Amor Electro were nominated for the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Portuguese Act at the 2012 and at the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards.[1]
