Vampírias líricas

Somos um grupo de cantoras líricas...
Afinamos sempre as nossas vozes antes de cantar. Vamos tentar ganhar a vida com os espectáculos que temos no nosso repertório. Começámos com uns ligeiros acordes e rapidamente concluímos que temos jeito é pá música e não pró inglês...
Temos personalidades várias, mas duvidosas ...
A Nini e a manu afinam na perfeiçao, A Isa é uma verdadeira desafinada!
