If this is a first day of festival, the day the doors opened only at 20h and where concerts are few and reduced the main stage, the truth is that it does not. About two hours before the opening of the doors, the most diverse workers were busy in the still empty room so that everything was operating when the public arrived.
-They put up his appointment last street signs and the pig on the spit, still whole, was almost at the point. In the secondary stage, the Vodafone FM, the lighting technicians climbed the long stairs and installed the necessary so that, as of Thursday, the music get the proper color. But not so for this relaxed bustle, pass the paradox, that this does not look like a first day of festival.
The green fields around the river beach of Taboao was already partially covered by the metallic sheen of the parked cars or by the colorful tents. By mid-afternoon, arrived more and more. Backpacks for back to back tents, chairs insured as steady as possible, the public was coming and was distributed by the roadside, waiting for friends who was delayed, or the line formed by the entrance of the stands where tickets were exchanged for wristbands. This public was coming to join the many, the many who have met together in the Taboao river beach, relaxing on the grass, enjoying the cool of the Coura river or on the other side, preparing it so wooded camping area for festival that has not yet begun (but it seemed so).
Inflatable boats floated pachorrentos the river, there was volleyball on the grass and wheels of friends around who knows what to do with a guitar or a harmonica . The Vodafone Paredes de Coura is full as if it were already oficialíssimo day – is justified, therefore, to have passed to the main stage concerts festival opening, usually met in high school. Here we see (now passes from 21h) Capicua continue the presentation of his latest and celebrated album, “Crazy Mermaid” before a packed amphitheater already public. Ali then it will see the rock with a touch of glam Cage The Elephant, the futuristic soul of Janelle Monáe and the British duo Public Service Broadcasting.
During the afternoon, a few kilometers away, as we had seen Capicua. We hear it in Roman-medieval bridge Peorada, with his voice rising above the murmur of the river and the sounds of birds and insects. It was the first concert of the Vodafone Music Sessions. The concept is as simple as captivating: a few dozen people are invited to attend the surprise concerts in unlikely places, like a Roman bridge lost in Minho, once part of the Roman road that connected Bracara Augusta (Braga) to Asturica Augusta (Astorga, Spain ). It was there that we heard Capicua alone with the words. “My connection to music is always done through them,” he said at the beginning, before showing us “crazy Mermaid” without instrumental, before reciting the “Freckles” Cesario Verde, first, and then your answer in the verse . Lisbon poet
It was like a workshop of thought Capicua: their femininity, their activism, his romanticism, his taste for rhyming and spoken word. Ends with the verses you created for “News with Rima,” PUBLIC challenge launched by a number of Portuguese musicians in late 2012 Series The aim was to create a song inspired by a story published in the newspaper. Capicua chose a story of Hugo Torres, about the man who every day for a year, left a flower in a chariot of Lisbon subway “in the name of love”: “It was poetry and romance. Deserved honor, “presented Capicua. Then rappou , recited the words after PUBLIC also emerged in their collaboration in mixtape of Black Ear. “Passion is sometimes love is every day,” heard on dozens of equally privileged in a privileged setting.
The Vodafone Paredes de Coura already begun. Unexpectedly, near a Roman bridge. With the expected animation, but with more people than one might anticipate, the river beach of Taboao.
