Biography
There is more than one artist with this name:
1. Dora is a collaboration of two musicians based in Rīga, Latvia coming from different musical backgrounds.
Gatis Zaķis as a sound artist and a producer is focusing on sound textures and noises using them as musical instruments while Jānis Šipkēvics (Shipsea) brings to the palette vocal polyphony and piano textures influenced by 20th century minimalists.
Duo's soundscape consists of those two different approaches which then complement and contrast each other in continuos tides of a musical piece.
Sense of what purpose and aesthetics music should embody is the connecting thread in Dora.

2. Dora began in 1999.
The band released Dead Horse Lounge in 2001 on Smith Seven Records/Madeline Records that was recorded by Matt Talbott (singer/guitarist for HUM) and mixed by Keith Cleversley (producer/engineer for HUM, Spiritualized, Mercury Rev,The Flaming Lips). Dora's only full length combines indie rock with an ambient soundscape that only some young dudes from Memphis could put together. Ben Canady's pained lyrics mix with Brandon Kinder's infectious guitar melodies created an album that was well ahead of its time.
The band broke up in 2002. Members are now in This Is Goodbye and Homer Hiccolm & The Rocke Boys.
3. Dora is the female Portuguese singer, who participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1986 with Não Sejas Mau Para Mim, and again in 1988 with Voltarei.
4. Dora is a Romanian pop singer who took part in the Romanian national final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. She came 3rd with the song Brand New Feeling.
5. Dora is a Greek female composer, mostly for theatre. In 2007 she recorded a downtempo album In Your City the Moon Lives on the 11th Floor, including the radio hit Streets Are Crowded.
