Grafitti , talks and concerts: it can be summarized as the tenth edition of the festival Lisbon mix, which begins on Tuesday and ends on Saturday, July 23, focusing on hip-hop culture. This despite, poster, the beats of Konono # 1 and the melodies of Waldemar Bastos ombrearem with rhyming Knave. Besides these three, we add even now another highlight, a kind of question that arouses curiosity: the concert of the Arts Portable Workshop (OPA), starring kids outskirts of the city that will have your chance to make his debut in a serious stage .
to be sure, are the concerts that pull crowds, but every year the Lisboa Mistura has a purpose and this is trying to understand “what is the sound of Lisbon” to name Carlos Martins , the director of the festival: “what projects are in Lisbon is the protagonist, which groups come here to record and what their connection to the city and sounds of Lisbon.”
the Sound Lisbon is even the title of the first debate organized by the festival, on Tuesday, at 19h, in Largo da Severa, joining people as disparate as DJ Marfox, Maria Reis (of Pega Monster), or fadista Camané. Earlier, between 17h and 20h, Glue and Mosaik grafitam a collective work. Already on Wednesday at the same time , the House Independent, to depart talk hip-hop in the 1990s to reach the current african-house
But going to concerts.: the first is on Wednesday, and will be hard to find something more fresh and new, because no one knows its protagonists. At 21h, the OPA takes the Largo stage of Quartermaster and the question is: what is this Workshop Portable Arts
This is a “pedagogical project of the [association] Sons of Lusophone” organizing the Lisbon mix, and just turned ten, explains Francisco Rebelo, the musician of Black Ear directs the workshop. the project works “with suburbs kids,” discovering “artists in the field of music, dance and media, though with more emphasis on music. “
This is not to teach the boys, explains Francisco Rebelo. the OPA team moves to” the Alta de Lisboa, the Musgueira at Galinheiras, Cova da Moura, the Buraca “and will” establishing partnerships with local associations “in order to” discover musicians. “after preparing them” to give a concert seriously, “after several artist residencies.
most kids that Rebelo works “do not touch”: “. Some produce, but are not musicians in the conventional sense” Rebelo acts as a sort of mentor: help them “improve the sound quality,” facilitates “the voice recording for a track,” teaches to produce. “They are used to playing in very poor areas and we help them to learn to be on stage, to give a concert.”
It is one of the points of interest in this inaugural concert Lisbon mix: to follow this kids are professional musicians. “I wanted to give them the opportunity to touch with a band,” says Rebelo, “which might not have the opportunity to repeat anytime soon.”
so we have the right to sound the . youth is in the neighborhoods this very moment “80% of the kids,” said Rebelo, “makes hip-hop; the remaining are kizomba, kuduro or african-house. ” These are the sounds that we can expect from Guida, Cape Verdean singer african-house, Mynda Guevara, rapper Cova da Moura, Vera sforce, Cape Verdean r’n’b singer, Straka and the duo of Cascais DMK.
Perhaps happen to any of them the same as Jack and NBC, acting in Largo do Intendente, Thursday, at 21.30, accompanied by virgül, Maze, Fuse, Sir Scratch and Bob Rage Sense. “18 years ago,” recalls Carlos Martins, “[the Sons of Lusophone made] the first national hip-hop meeting, in some warehouses in Abel Pereira da Fonseca. And then the Jack and NBC made their debut in concert. “So long after, the association wanted to bring them” to make a reflection on the hip-hop that the city produces. “ Jack, . defends Martins, is “a unique ability to continue to be good, sensitive, curious, read the world around them, to believe that we can change the world” the director goes further: Knave and NBC also represent the Creole spirit of Lisbon.
