29 Março

A memorable concert: the 1st Encontro da Canção Portuguesa, held under the pretext of awarding the Casa da Imprensa awards, the AJA Associação José Afonso celebrates “José Afonso e as Gerações de Abril” on the 29th of March, at 9:00 pm, at the Coliseu dos Recreios, in Lisbon.

Precisely 50 years ago, on March 29, 1974, José Afonso sang his “Grândola, Vila Morena”, with the Coliseu completely packed and accompanying him, vibrant with an atmosphere of celebration and resistance.

“the people are the ones who order the most, within you, o city”

At this concert, there were many soldiers who, feeling the strength of the song, would choose it as a second password to start the revolution that would take place a few days later.
