Produced by Latin Grammy winner Tó Brandileone, the album was recorded between Lisbon and São Paulo. Lightly exploring the lands of pop, and never losing the jazz tones, ‘DanSando’ is filled with 11 original themes, guided by the need to sing about love. Luísa’s new record adventure is an intimate and personal work, but also socially conscious and involved, bringing together songs that are assumed to be more luminous and in which love is the raw material. An album that the author admits “that I’ve wanted to do for a long time: an ode to life”. Considered one of the most important singers and songwriters of the new generation of Portuguese musicians, Luísa Sobral debuted in 2011 with ‘The Cherry on My Cake’, followed by ‘There’s A Flower In […]

The Lisbon band that brings together Gaspar Varela on Portuguese guitar, Sebastião Varela on electric guitar and Rafael Matos on drums released their eponymous debut EP at the end of that year, having received the highest praise from the national and international public.

Pre-registration by calling 282 767 816, the Library’s Facebook page or email Biblioteca@cm-lagos.pt What is a reading concert? One of the many chronicles by Rubem Alves about reading ends this way: “There are music concerts. Why not reading concerts? I imagine an unthinkable situation: a teenager is getting ready to go out with his girlfriend, and his mother asks: “Where are you going?”. And he replies: “I’m going to a reading concert. Today, at the theatre, the story “A Terceira Mar do Rio”, by Guimarães Rosa, will be read. Why don’t you and Dad come?” And so, embarrassed father and mother turn off the television and prepare to leave…” In everything similar to a music concert, in the reading concert only the nature of the score changes. The rest remains: the presentation of a program and a soloist as a channel through which the music of the texts passes. More than an actor, the sound reader is a director who shares with the public a reading according to their sensitivity, as […]

Cantaloupe Café, in Mercados de Olhão, is pleased to announce that it will present on the 5th of February, Sunday at 6.30 pm, a show with: Ze Eduardo Trio Formed over a year ago, this trio quickly rose to not only local but also national notoriety, having already performed at the Hot Club in Portugal as well as at the Loulé Jazz Festival, among others, namely several performances at Cantaloupe. Various circumstances (which the pandemic is no stranger to) allowed for the unlikely coming together of these three musicians who were more than qualified for the difficult task of making a jazz trio sound. Pianist Simon Seidl and drummer Marcelo Araújo accepted the challenge proposed by veteran bassist Zé Eduardo and the result is in plain sight. In 2023, among other musical adventures, it will be the resident trio at Cantaloupe Jazz Café where it will present, at the beginning of each month, an original and diversified program.

EXTENDED HORIZONS Classic Lethes Cycle – OCS – Southern Classical Orchestra THU. 9 FEB / 7 pm Tickets: €7.50 Duration: 45 to 60′ // M/6 Samuel Coleridge-Taylor lived a short life of just 37 years. However, he was quite prolific and achieved a prominent place in the first decades of the 20th century. His upward path is also a milestone in a society of Victorian values, recognizing a black composer as one of the most distinguished peers of his time. Alan Shulman was born in the USA into a family that emigrated from the Russian Empire, growing up surrounded by music, where his character as a child prodigy stands out. As a cellist, he plays in the best American orchestras and forms the mythical Stuyvesant Quartet. As an arranger, he collaborates with Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole or Ella Fitzgerald. Already as a full-fledged composer, and despite a brilliant academic career and regular contact with the most important composers of the last century, his work remains to be discovered and explored. This concert proposes to expand our horizons as listeners, rediscovering two composers whose work needs greater dissemination, with both works being heard as probable national premieres. It is also […]

His areas of teaching and academic publishing have been aesthetics and contemporary art, dramatic literature, cultural theory, and Asian performing arts. He is active as a playwright, translator and literary critic.
Voice is arguably the human faculty that has the greatest impact on our experience. It has an enormous power of contamination and unique capabilities that allow transformation, communication and enchantment. In this proposal dedicated to the technique of lyrical singing, various forces of Voz em Canto come together. Voz em Canto intends to highlight and publicize the unique beauty that lyrical singing encourages. It is proposed a journey that will cover 4 types of voices: Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, Tenor and Bass, accompanied by different instrumental formations. It will be a tribute to dialogues with a program full of duets. After so much time of human and emotional isolation, caused by covid-19, it is increasingly necessary to promote rapprochement and communication. The four spaces selected for the execution of the various musical programs are based, above all, on the need to decentralize culture in the territory of Lagoa.

The spaces covered on this journey by Voz em Canto, begins with the religious building – Church of Ferragudo, passing through the […]

Em 2020, abateu-se sobre o Planeta a pandemia provocada pelo Novo Coronavírus – SarsCov2. Durante o primeiro confinamento, o Tempo, aquele de cuja falta nos queixamos sempre, entrou-nos pelas casas dentro e ali ficou, imponente e estático.

The Salt, the sun and the south and a different late afternoon in Salina Félix
To the south and in the sun in a late afternoon, the participants of the first action of the initiative “End of Afternoon in Salt” were able to collect their own salt, in an experience that aims to value the profession of salt and salt flower. In Salina Félix, in the middle of the Sapal de Castro Marim and VRSA Nature Reserve, the new salineiros learned about the whole process of artisanal saliniculture, collecting the salt manually, with the ancestral techniques that the fresh salineiros taught them. Home they took an enriching experience, 1 bag of the “best salt in the world” and also 2 packs of salt flower, which they themselves collected from the herseherand. The traditional sea salt of Castro Marim results from the conjugation of the salineiro’s work with the action of tides, sun and winds, and is not subject to any kind of subsequent treatment, presenting naturally white and bright. The salt flower was also observed, although atmospheric conditions did not allow collection. Also the salt flower does not undergo any kind of processing, dries in the sun and is then packed, maintaining the taste and humidity of the sea. This initiative is part of a strategy of valorization and promotion of salineiro and, consequently, of salt, which is one of the ex-libris of Castro Marim. Providing this contact of proximity and familiarization, it hopes to increase and boost the commercialization of local products in the tourist chain. About 2 months ago Castro Marim was also able to see legally protected the name “Sal e Flor de Sal de Castro Marim” (PDO – Protected Designation of Origin). The “End of Afternoon in Salt” is an action organized by the Municipality of Castro Marim and Odiana Association, integrated in the Blue Flag 2020 program and framed in the application “Heritage of Castro Marim: Valorization and Promotion of Local Producers and Endogenous Products”, composed by PO CRESC 2020, PADRE project, supported by Portugal and the European Union, co–financed at 70% by the FEDER.
