It will be the second concert of the “DanSando” tour, the first in the Algarve, which will start on the 28th of January in Sesimbra. Synopsis: Luísa Sobral opens the doors to the solar pop of ‘DanSando’, her sixth album of originals. 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.

With a sound influenced by the rhythms of Portuguese, Brazilian and African popular music, the debut work of these young […]

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 […]

In 2019 I went around the country on an auditorium tour that I called Casca de Noz. Me, without a script, alone on stage, supported by my instruments and my music. The adventure went through the main movie theaters in the country and ended with a double session at the Porto Coliseum. At the time, I was still only halfway through what is my edited discography. I feel like it justifies a new season. From time to time my songs feel like walking around the way they came into the world. And I have a lot that I haven’t played live yet. Come!
