| Additional information |
Xutos & Pontapés formed in Lisbon in 1978 and became one of the most durable acts of the Portuguese punk and rock scene, surviving lineup changes and the death of bassist Zé Pedro in 2017 to remain culturally embedded in ways few domestic bands managed. The Casa da Moeda has issued collector 5 Euro pieces honoring Portuguese musical figures with some regularity, slotting this release into a broader commemorative program alongside earlier issues for fado artists.
Zé Pedro's death gave the band renewed public attention in Portugal's mainstream press.
