Malammore releases ‘Aurora,’ his debut album, on January 23, presenting a deeply personal narrative shaped by identity, belonging, and cultural resistance. The Lisbon-born artist, also known as Sandro Feliciano, channels lived experience into songs that explore love, adoption, loss, and self-definition. The record carries emotional clarity and thematic focus, unfolding as a cohesive autobiographical statement rooted in the Black experience in Portugal.
“The idea for the album came from a notebook filled with poems, stories, and the way I see myself in this world,” Malammore says. Blending hip-hop, rap, trap, and spoken word, ‘Aurora’ draws inspiration from figures including Malcolm X, Angela Davis, and Fela Kuti. Recorded at Lisbon Sound Society with production by No Icon, the album moves with purpose, pairing sharp lyricism with expansive ideas and leaving a lasting emotional impression.
