In 1992, in a small house in S.João do Estoril, near Lisbon, José Côrte-Real set up a micro studio in a 9 m2 room,
equipped with modern recording material and the possibility of recording voices.
Soon after, LaFéria productions, led by Renato Junior, began recording "De Afonso Henriques a Mário Soares"
with Mário Rui Teixeira, leading the composition and arrangements with the collaboration of José Côrte-Real.
During his free time, José began composing a series of instrumentals for a film company in Austria.
but which were never accepted.

​

Those songs were left aside, untill he opened RealDigital Records and gradually released them with different artists...

Songs that were "tidy" in a drawer for 27 years.

Finally, in 2019, was decided at RealDigital Records to create the artist "Shawn Cabello" inspired by electronic music from the 70s/80s, Kaus Schulze, Michel Polnareff, Moroder (of course), Space, Jean Michel Jarre and Hammer, among many others who were dedicated to the production/composition of music with only synthesizers.

Some time ago we osé found some DAT tapes with even more experimental material and added them to an album edition: "Losten Tapes". 

(Special thanks to DJ Rui Almeida for providing the DAT recorder for conversion into .WAV format)

Although the original bet was to "€uropa", it was "Losten Tapes", another song from the same batch that was composed during the same time that has had the most airplay on Spotify.
