Discos Macarras Records
THE BATELEURS - Band
The story of The Bateleurs begins in Portugal with the natural approach of a talented singer, native of another country, with a collective of seasoned musicians already working the grounds of their home town.
The passion for Blues and old school Rock’n’Roll was the sparkle that started all, and for the first couple of years they stormed the clubs’ playing versions of the classics of the giants of yesteryear they love.
Inevitably, ideas for original songs started to come up, and quickly the band headed for the studio to capture the raw genesis of their efforts.
Being faithful to the chemistry of the styles they practice, the process was kept organic and real, absolutely rejecting the modern technologies used and abused in today’s recording industry.

From those sessions emerged The Immanent Fire EP, that make them noticed in the media, both local and foreign. A year playing shows at clubs and festivals in their country, displaying their musical prowess and improvisational skills, secured them interest from international booking agencies, and the first tour happened in early 2020, with various dates all around the Spanish territory.
Without delay they headed back to the studio to produce their debut album, working with some of the most talented homeland engineers to capture the essence of their craft. The record turned out a very accurate testimony of their present moment in time: Songs that deal with the most pressing issues of the human condition, balanced between the power of pure Rock’n’Roll, the deeper feelings of the Blues, and the contagious groove and harmony of Soul. “The Sun In The Tenth House” is a masterful record released on 12th May 2022, with the seal of Spanish label MilanaMúsica.
With pandemic restrictions, the band only returned to the road in 2022, completing another tour in Spain that year and another in 2023. In the same year, the 2020 VC Sessions were released, a live album recorded during the pandemic in the studios of Valentim de Carvalho (ex-EMI).
The band went through a major line-up change, with the departure of the guitarist Marco Reis and the addition of Ricardo Galrão to fill his role.
The Bateleurs are back with new music in 2025. “For All To See “and “A Price For My Soul” are the advance singles for the upcoming album “A Light In The Darkness”, schedule for release in October 1, 2025 by the label Discos Macarras Records from Spain, were the new record is definitely a leap forward on The Bateleurs sound and aesthetics.
THE BATELEURS are:
- Vocals – Sandrine Orsini.
- Bass – Ricardo Dikk.
- Guitars – Ricardo Galrão.
- Drums and Percussion - Rui Reis.
