First, the news: documentary film shows to serve as a preface to the party, African music night in Oporto Coliseum with Bonga, Kimi Djabaté and Selma Uamusse, the mythical Club Kitten risen, and Miguel Araújo concerts and invited the seventh Silo Auto floor – it was there that took place on the morning of Thursday, the presentation press conference of the 6th US edition in D’Bandada, that on September 17 back to take Portuguese music to the streets and several areas of Porto, with free entry.
Black Ear, Son of the Mother, Sallim, the Sunflowers, Surma, Cave Story, You Can not Win, Charlie Brown, Landim, Hound, Jump and Quelle Dead Gazelle are some of the other musicians present in this edition, which has fewer big names than in previous years, but has a poster a little more diverse, with emphasis on some of the new Portuguese music – and this is important to note the role of curatorship of promoters and structures such as Lovers & amp; Lollypops, discs Prince or Bad Habits.
The concerts are spread streets, squares, gardens, bars and other Low sites of the city (this year without the electric infamous) as the Commercial Atheneum Oporto . “We always wanted to take heritage of the party,” says Rita Torres Baptista, director of brand and communication NOS. It is a festival tour (call it the “St. John’s song”) that has been counting increasingly public, with numbers on the last issues that came to 200,000 people. The floods, sometimes unbearable, and the long lines to try to get the concerts have become, for good and for evil, a brand image. “It is with things like D’Bandada that the city transcends” considers Rui Moreira, mayor of Porto, partner of the event. “It all becomes a stage where everyone wants to participate, and this is the function of culture in a city.”
This year, the D’Bandada starts earlier. The first act takes place between 13:16 with documentary film sessions at Passos Manuel, programmed by the festival and cultural association Porto / Post / Doc. Music is the protagonist: Janis: Little Girl Blue (2015), a documentary about Janis Joplin performed by Amy J. Berg and narrated by Cat Power, and Punk is Not Daddy (2010), tour Edgar Pera behind the scenes of Portuguese music of the 80s, the Sea Heroes to GNR, are two of the four films on display. On the 17th, the program parties have a starting point at 14h on the seventh floor of the Silo Auto, one of the new spaces of this issue. Miguel Araújo, who plays at the festival since the first year, plays songs he composed for other colleagues, such as Ana Moura and Antonio Zambujo and invites two musicians to join him.
In a panoramic the poster, let us follow the incendiary garage-rock of 800 Gondomar and the Sunflowers. Representing Cafetra publisher comes Sallim, with its pop lo-fi aeriform and cotton candy, and Lorenzo Crespo, who launched one of the most exciting albums of this year, Nine Songs , with melodies that stick ear. To hear acoustic guitars between light and shadow, we have the Mother and Son Grutera. For the usual dose of hip-hop, meeting in the Square of Poveiros, especially the Black Ear and especially to the rapper Landim. In the Lions Square, there Jamaican shades with two soundsystems a face-to-face (Simply Rockers and Roots Dimension).
One of the repeaters (and rightly) is the Prince discs, unavoidable publisher that has proposed, from the suburbs of Lisbon, new directions for African roots music like tarraxo and kuduro, a partnership with Western dance music. Look for African music is, indeed, one of the objectives of this edition. Cape Verdeans Cachupa Psychedelic act on Bad Habits and the party at the Coliseum has Bonga, inter-generational icon of Angolan culture and master Semba, the Guinean Kimi Djabaté, which launched in June a new album, Kanamalu , and Selma Uamusse, commanding voice playing with the traditions of Mozambican music.
