For two days, the back fado fill the streets of Alfama a unique festival. Box Alfama now in its third edition and this year, joining as usual singers more or less known to the general public, bet some news.
Luis Montez, the Sound of Music, the organizer of the festival, highlights the existence of new spaces: “The stairs of the Church of St. Stephen, the municipal washing place and as the Fado the Window it worked fine last year in off the inside of Fountain, we will extend it to the Largo de São Miguel. In Fado the Window guitarists play fado successes and the public, here below, will them following with voice. “In addition to the 10 stages, there is this year 10 restaurants joined gastronomically to the event.
In the case stage, there will be Sing Alentejo in two nights. “It’s a way to honor them for they have won as well, after the fado, the Intangible Heritage classification,” said Montez. And if the first night will still, at this same stage, Maria da Fé and Rodrigo, Raquel Tavares and Cuca Roseta, on the second night act António Chaínho and guests, Marco Rodrigues and Ana Moura, that it will be closing the festival. Two of these musicians present new work, says Luis Montez, “Raquel Tavares just burn a disc, you should sing some fado, and Marco Rodrigues released an album recently but the big presentation will be now.”
The fate prayed returns: the concept began in the Chiado Church, with many people, and in the case Alfama will in the second year. Has featured Frei Hermano da Câmara and now have in the Church of St. Michael (18th, 22:30), Carmo Moniz Pereira, Matilde Cid and Salvation Francisco Barreto, preceded by Antonio Pinto Basto (21h). In the same church, the 19th, will be José Gonçalez and Gonzalo Salgueiro. In another church, St. Stephen, Diana Vilarinho and Joana Amendoeira, 18, and Maria Ana Bobone and John Chora, day 19. In the staircase, will be Carolina and José Manuel Neto (who invites the young Nathalie Pires), the 18th, and the next day Sara Correia and Pedro Moutinho.
“We have also, for the first time, Fado from Coimbra, and as we did last year a tribute to Fernando Maurício, this year will be the Max.” They are both Centro Cultural Magalhães Lima, the 18th, from 21h55. The next day, there will be Júlio Resende and guest singers (“What? He wants to surprise”) in tribute to Amalia (21h) and Filipa Cardoso (22h15).
In the Fado Museum, there are two places to hear fado: the auditorium (with Pedro Seabra and Ricardo Silva, 18, and Angelo Freire and Diogo Rocha, 19) and the restaurant (The Marialva and Luisa Rocha, on the first day, and Ana Sofia Varela and José Manuel Barreto in Day’s Night 19. In the other stages, you can still hear singers like Maria João Quadros, in Grupo Sportivo Adicence (19th at 21h), preceded on the same stage by the young singer Luis Matos.
an insurmountable problem: “This festival has the complexity of guitarists Because 40 singers are 120 guitarists and fado violists and there are 120 good guitarists and violists in Lisbon They just touch and go with the guitar on his back from side to.. . the other is a difficult management “
And an optimistic forecast, also of Luiz Montez, with the help of meteorology”. As the weather forecast is very good, will be very hot, I think it will be completely exhausted. Only on Wednesday sell 450-500 tickets … We will have 5000 people a day. “
