This year’s edition follows the same line as previous ones: a first for many artists in Madeira and according to the organization, the best from several musical areas. The Portuguese music with roots in Portugal, Cape Verde, Angola and Brazil will be associated to a number of concerts carried out this year.
Amongst some of the announced artists, concerts will include those of Cape Verdean singer Nancy Vieira, hailed by many as the successor of Cesária Évora, on June 27th.
On July 9th, the South Korean band Jambinai will be taking centre stage, as part of their first ever European tour around 25 countries. They are one of the most popular bands in Asia and their music blends alternative rock and experimental jazz.
On the 12, the stage belongs to Pedro Ribeiro and Pedro Jóia. The first is a fado singer with a rare vocal versatility in this musical genre whilst Pedro Jóia is an acclaimed guitarist.
During the month of August concerts will include those of Peixe:Avião, a band from Braga praised as the new musical sensation on the national scene. On the 29th, one of the most controversial concerts of the season brings Mão Morta to the stage, a Portuguese band, which has recently launched their new album whilst celebrating their 30th anniversary, with the unmistakable voice of lead singer Adolfo Luxúria Canibal.
