Throughout this year, singer Cristina Branco has been associated with the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of April 25 in an emotional tour that has brought to the stage the album Abril, released in 2007, dedicated to the songs of Zeca Afonso.
The first performance of this year dedicated to the album Abril took place in Póvoa do Varzim, precisely on April 25. Since then, Cristina Branco has presented Abril on numerous national stages, passing through Vila Real, Covilhã, Grândola, and Loulé (Festival MED). On December 5, Cristina Branco will conclude this tour in Lisbon, at the São Luiz Municipal Theater.
The careful selection of songs in Abril reflects Cristina Branco’s intense connection to the work of José Afonso. In concert, the singer revisits the 16 tracks of the album, including emblematic themes such as “Menino d’Oiro,” “Venham Mais Cinco,” “Redondo Vocábulo,” “A Morte Saiu à Rua,” or “Índios da Meia Praia.” A lineup that provides an unforgettable live experience.
In Abril, the singer captures the essence of the genius of Portuguese popular music, without distancing herself from her artistic uniqueness. On stage, she is accompanied by a group of renowned musicians: Ricardo Dias on piano, Bernardo Moreira on double bass, Alexandre Frazão on drums, and Mário Delgado on electric guitar.
Cristina Branco has captivated audiences around the world with her unique voice and passionate interpretations, in a remarkable career with 18 albums released. Her work is a huge contribution to the promotion and defence of music, the language, and Portuguese authors.
Returning to Abril is an authentic manifestation of respect and admiration for José Afonso and the perfect theme to celebrate the 50 years of April 25 and freedom.
