“This is one of the most important songs we’ve ever made,” says the band itself. “We always wanted to portray this feeling of being displaced, of having an ocean away to home.” The bet of these five Madeirans was accurate; They had not even stepped on the stage of the Song Festival, to work in the second semifinal, and already ‘displaced’ became one of the most heard contest songs, echoing in the hearts of all the other “displaced”, people who had to abandon their and what is yours to try their luck to kilometers – sometimes thousands of kilometers – from home.
In a country of emigrants and immigrants, the island feeling of “I came from the middle of the sea, from the heart of the ocean”, as they sing, became universal.
