In August, the City of Olhão hosts the Seafood Festival at Jardim Pescador Olhanense, next to the Ria Formosa.

Albert Serra is considered one of the most irreverent and transgressive contemporary filmmakers, being responsible for a work that, from Honor de Cavalleria [2006] to Liberté [2019], is undoubtedly marked by literature.

SURICATA – Pedro Gil on electric guitar and Tércio Freire on baritone guitar with guest Paulo Franco on percussions. In the music of Suricata is the fusion between Fado, Jazz and Blues with soundscapes that take us between the sea and the desert.

LST – Lisbon String Trio José Peixoto – classical guitar Bernardo Couto – Portuguese guitar Carlos Barretto – Double Bass Together since 2013, they edited the first CD “Matéria” in 2014 that won the Carlos Paredes Prize awarded by the Vila Franca de Xira City Council. In 2016 they publish “Lisboa” and with this work, in addition to performing all over the country and in some festivals abroad, they are nominated for Best Disco – Prémio Autores 2017, awarded by the Portuguese Authors Society.

Equidistant from various traditions, without mirroring them but inspired by them, developing various platforms where musicians can express themselves freely and sow them with their identities. Admitting that the two words / concepts “jazz” and “portuguese” can exist smoothly, this trio dares to build their music in this poetic and subjective context. Portuguese jazz? If fado were … Carlos Barretto is a reference in the Portuguese jazz scene as a bass player and composer. He […]
