Percursos Sonoros happens today!
The fourth edition of the festival, organized by Incentivo Positivo in partnership with the Oliveira de Azeméis City Council and the Municipal Youth Council, will take place on September 28, from 10 pm, in one of the most cherished spaces in the region, the La Salette Park.
The purpose of Percursos Sonoros continues (and will remain) the same: to promote the city’s “forgotten” heritage through music. The Bandstand, the Lake, the Viewpoint of the Park, as well as the Estalagem de S. Miguel are the historical stages chosen for the constitution of the 2019 edition of the festival. Each corner of La Salette Park represents a special piece of olive culture and memory, making the study and sorting of spaces one of the organization’s greatest difficulties.
As for the poster, it is also already defined and promises to bring Oliveira de Azeméis the best that is done in our country in terms of music. With their new album, Aurora, Sensible Soccers will lead audiences into the undiscovered corners of memory and childhood through their vibrant rhythms.
The best-rated Portuguese band from the 2018 edition of the Thermometer Festival, Gator, The Alligator, from Barcelos, promise to mesmerize the audience with lightning strikes in the form of garage rock, psychedelic sounds and fuzz.
Sharing the space with the Barcelona band, we will find CelesteMariposa, who in a change of rhythms will take us to the universe of African dances, a journey through time from the bases of the instrumental funana to the rugged Angolan meringue, besides Semba, Gumbé da Guinea-Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe Socopé and Mozambican Marrabenta.
There is also the Bardino, a true plunge into the tranquility between ancient psychedelism and the heritage of progressive rock and its funk and jazz-fusion variants.
At the conclusion of the poster presentation comes a major international breakthrough: Martin Harley, one of the songwriters nominated for UK AMERICANA AWARDS as best musician of the year.
The Percursos Sonoros remains free of charge. Although the concerts start at 10 pm, the public will be invited to arrive early through a complementary daytime program for various ages that aims to enrich the experience of visitors to La Salette Park. “We want to bring the public into the park as early as afternoon so that the potential of its potential is maximized,” the organization adds.
