Santamaria biographySantamaria is a Portuguese project which features 2 boys : António ''Tó'' Lemos (producer, composer, songwriter), born 3rd January 1973, Luís Marante (composer, rapper) born 10th February 1981, Lucas Junior (composer, co-producer, DJ, rapper) and 3 girls : Filipa Lemos (vocalist) born 12th August 1978, Magda Monteiro (dancer and background-singer) born 29th July 1982, and Diná Real (dancer and background-singer), born 12th November 1975. Their distinctive touch is the combination between Filipa's vocals and electronic sounds. They sold so far more than 800.000 worldwide, but their success remains limited mostly to Portugal and Spain.
