This is a question that’s been on my mind for quite awhile and, before heading out the door, I’ll show you why I’m determined to find out more about Corte Real. For starters, a history of the Atlantic class taught me João Vaz Corte-Real was a Portugese explorer who most likely came to America twenty years prior to Columbus but neglected to accurately document his discovery; therefore missing out on immortal fame and his own American holiday. Yet, does any of this play a role in new French band Corte Real – whose musical existence is sparse and MySpace is bleak. Perhaps I’ll find the answer to all of my questions soon, either way the melodic tracks of Corte Real will continue to marinate in my ears. They have a comforting sound, especially in the track “Ligne 15″ which fuses a great melody with old world overtones and Dylan-esque vocals. After a few listens you’ll want to find out more too:

That's almost a little too Dylan for my tastes. The resemblance is uncanny.
IMO it's only as uncannily similar to Dylan as The Felice Brothers are…
Indeed, it's on a dylan's way but you got it right, my friend… I want to search more about this great french band too!!
It's just awesome!
Let us know good news if you find more about them
greetings from Peru!
this blog rocks!
I really like this band ! I'ld really like to know more about them ! Where can we hear more stuff like that?
The voice of the singer is really good, sounds like Dylan to me too, but I like the guitar as well, and the drummer is really good too.
Thanks for the post anyway !
I've found more about them, notably "siberia" which is a very good song too.

I agree with all your posts, this french band is very great.
Very good french band.
Oh yes, i like corte real too! In studio, they're making good fucking songs, but I saw them live, wasn't good at all. They just have to work a little more…
A vid with a "pot pourri" of some demos. Enjoy!
