David and Rita closed the concerts “Conta-me Uma Canção” at Teatro Maria Matos, and it couldn’t have ended better, full of fun moments, two fantastic voices, and music from another world, which fill the heart of those who listen to it.
On stage, David Fonseca and Rita Redshoes, immediately warned that they were going to talk a lot, and they did, but it wasn’t much, I’m sure the public would have stayed longer, to hear them talk, play and sing.
There were many stories that were told, personal and related to the themes that were played, many were the laughs that we heard on the stage but also in the audience, between themes like ‘Chama-me que e vou’, ‘The Beginning song ‘, ‘Kiss me, Oh kiss me’, among others, which the public accompanied, singing and clapping, in almost two hours of good music and animation.
The debut of “Conta-me Uma Canção” on stage took place on the 24th of January with Benjamim and Samuel Úria. Always at Teatro Maria Matos and always with the hall sold out, this cycle of four presentations ended yesterday with David Fonseca and Rita Redshoes, a couple who have known each other for many years and who had already played together, a complicity that was seen and felt on stage.
About “Conta-me Uma Canção”:
Against the background of the legacy of more than 25 years of partnership with some of the most talented and influential national “songwriters”, the show producer and artist management Vachier & Associados, Lda conceived a project around what is the most valuable asset of popular music – the Song. Initially, the production of audiovisual content was made available last summer now, the transposition to the stage of Teatro Maria Matos, launching the challenge to eight national artists. Four encounters with duos formed by unavoidable names in national music, whether as composers or as performers.
For the live version of “Conta-me Uma Canção”, V&A invited Benjamim + Samuel Úria; Joana Espadinha + Mafalda Veiga; The Girl Doesn’t + Sérgio Godinho; and David Fonseca + Rita Redshoes. Evenings in which, along with the stories of the chosen songs, the cross versions, and a necessarily intimate conversation between two creators, each pair of singer-songwriters also shares with the audience a version of a song that is not their own, “one of those” that they would like to have composed.
