Performance Series “The Role of Music – Concerts Between Texts and Melodies”
Concert with Manuela Azevedo & Hélder Gonçalves (Clã)
Friday | July 17 | 10:00 p.m. | Library and Archives Courtyard
free admission
Manuela Azevedo & Hélder Gonçalves present in Grândola, “Music and Poetry,” a show in which they revisit themes from various poetic and musical worlds and, above all, from the world of Clã, a band formed in 1992 that has established itself as one of the most important references in Portuguese music, largely due to the originality of its artistic journey, based on the fusion of pop and rock sounds, and on the musical interpretation of texts of high literary quality, written by authors such as Carlos Tê, Regina Guimarães, Sérgio Godinho, Arnaldo Antunes, among others—which allowed the band to build a career in which the spoken word plays a central role.
