Quinta do Bill is a Portuguese folk rock band from Tomar formed in 1987 by Carlos Moisés, Paulo Bizarro, and Rui Dias. The group first gained recognition through early music contests, including the Rock Rendez-Vous competition in 1988, where they reached the final and earned the opportunity to record “Zézé” for the compilation Registos. Their first album, Sem Rumo, was released in 1992 following further contest success. The band achieved major commercial breakthrough with Os Filhos Da Nação (1994), which reached gold status and included hits such as “Os Filhos da Nação,” “Senhora Maria do Olival,” and “Aljubarrota.” They experienced continued success with No Trilho do Sol (1996), also gold-certified, and Dias De Cumplicidade (1998), which reached silver status. The band remained active into the 2000s and 2010s, releasing 25 Anos – As Baladas (2012) to mark their 25th anniversary and later performing symphonic concerts, including a major 2014 show at the Coliseu do Porto with the Banda Sinfónica Portuguesa.
