Vanyfox’s Guide to Lisbon

Vanyfox on Lisbon

Vanyfox’s Guide to Lisbon

Born in Portugal to an Angolan family, DJ and producer Vanyfox now splits his time between Lisbon and Paris.

The 22-year-old artist stitches together batida, kuduro and Afrobeat in his work, and has seen his music released via labels such as Enchufada, Boukan Records and Moonshine. Most recently, he put his own spin on Karen Nyame KG's single Taboo.

As someone who frequently makes the trip between two major cities, we tapped the producer for some advice on where to go in Lisbon. To explore the cultural underbelly of the Portuguese city, hit up Vanyfox's recommendations below, which cover sportswear shops, restaurants and music venues.
