EM REDE, an online festival coming up this weekend

Check out the three days of EM REDE in the links below!

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3


EM REDE is an online festival which will present almost twenty concerts by local musicians over three days.

This festival will showcase the diversity and wealth of talent in Barreiro's music scene, with space for songs, jazz, hip-hop, electronic and experimental music, bringing up-and-coming and established artists together.

From their homes, these musicians accepted the invitation by OUT.RA and the Barreiro Municipality (the event's co-producers) to perform at a festival which sends a message to the city and the country that Music can't stop and that the Arts still are, today and always, an essential part of our lives.

Watching EM REDE is entirely free and shows will be broadcast on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the Barreiro Municipality Youtube channel. Below, you can find out about the schedules and line-ups for each day.

AN OUT.RA AND CMB CO-PRODUCTION

Föllakzoid / Green Milk From the Planet Orange tours canceled

Inevitably, both FÖLLAKZOID and Green Milk From The Planet Orange have been forced to cancel their European tours and thus their dates in Barreiro.

If you purchased a ticket to one of these shows you may ask for reimbursement through BOL. However, OUT.RA would like to suggest that you consider forgoing that refund and thus contribute to mitigate the impact of the many expenses we had to incur in promoting these and other cancelled shows.

We would like to thank everyone for their support in these trying times for all of us, particularly those working in the cultural field who live in complete uncertainty over their situation during the coming months.

Stay safe and stay home.

HERÓIS INDIANOS ROMANOS AFRICANOS to be presented behind closed doors and broadcast online

After deliberating with Associação NÓS over the current situation in regards to the prevention and mitigation of the impact and propagation of the COVID-19 virus, and taking in account the World Health Organization's recommendations, as well as the directives published by the Direcção Geral de Saúde and the decisions made by the local and national authorities regarding the use of and presence in public spaces, we're sad to inform you that the show scheduled for this Saturday (HERÓIS INDIANOS ROMANOS AFRICANOS - Alan Courtis with WE2 and guests André Neves & Bernardo Álvares) will not take place as previously announced.

The work developed by these musicians over the last week won't go unpresented, however, as we'll be be holding this concert behind closed doors and broadcast it over the internet to all interested at the date and time originally scheduled for the show (Saturday, March 14th at 17:00). We'll post the link for this stream on the day of at OUT.RA's Facebook page, so be sure to like and follow the page and stay tuned.

Two special concerts for March

We're happy to announce our concert programming for March - two shows which champion specific causes and differ from the usual music night fare.

On the 14th, Be Jazz Cafe will host the return of Argentinian musician, sonic explorer and pedagogue ALAN COURTIS (already an honorary Barreiro citizen), who will present his latest adventure with WE2 (the band made up by over 10 NÓS Association beneficiaries) . Those who were present at the two previous performances by these HERÓIS INDIANOS ROMANOS AFRICANOS (at Be Jazz in 2016 and ADAO in 2017) definitely recall how emotional it is to listen to music and performances as special as their authors' needs. For those who weren't - don't miss out on witnessing this display of unfettered creativity in one of the most beautiful Saturday matinées we could imagine.

Three days later, on the 17th, we move on to AMAC to see WATER MUSIC3 by Porto-based percussionist LUÍS BITTENCOURT, in another matinée which will be a part of the International Water Day celebrations by the Barreiro Municipality. The musician will perform three pieces of the same name ("Water Music") by composers John Cage, Tan Dun and Joseph Byrd (this last one in a national premiere), which demonstrate the immense power of water even as a form of musical expression.

Admission is free for both shows. Meanwhile, tickets are still available at BOL for the other shows we've already announced: FÖLLAKZOID + ANTI S e GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE + PARPAR. And don't forget that applications are still open for the OUT.RA Creation Grant for 2020

Yann Gourdon at the Barreiro Municipal Library

A programação regular OUT.RA para 2020 arranca já na próxima semana com um concerto de YANN GOURDON no dia 17 (Sexta), na Biblioteca Municipal do Barreiro.

Compositor e artista sonoro francês, Yann Gourdon tem como instrumento de eleição a sanfona (aka hurdy-gurdy), a qual transportou das suas raízes populares para o domínio das atmosferas mais densas e hipnóticas através da ressonância própria do instrumento, com uma abordagem informada pela música tradicional de Auvergne aliada ao minimalismo que deixa uma marca inegável no seu trabalho com o trio FRANCE e como parte do colectivo francês La Nòvia, mas que brilha particularmente no seu trabalho a solo, jogando com as propriedades acústicas dos espaços onde se apresenta.

Os bilhetes podem ser reservados enviando um e-mail para o endereço do costume: info@outra.pt.

See you soon!

Let's get 2020 started: FÖLLAKZOID in Barreiro in April

We're already hard at work in planning our next year, with some surely unforgettable nights coming up in the first few months of 2020.

One of those nights will be April 2nd, when we'll have the immense pleasure of hosting the start of the European tour of the peerless Chilean band FÖLLAKZOID at ADAO, where they will be presenting their brilliant and hypnotic new album "I", their fourth, after their last performance in Portugal over four years ago. You have no idea how special it will be to - finally - host this band in Barreiro.

Opening the night will be another Castellano speaker, the Spaniard ANTI S, who makes some of the Iberian Peninsula's noisiest songs with nothing but a guitar and his voice.

You can purchase tickets (7€ general audience, 3.5€ for under 25 yr olds) for this concert at BOL and associated stores (Fnac, Worten, CTT, etc).

OUT.RA na FOME

No próximo sábado, dia 14, é lançado o IV número da revista FOME, um projecto de particular interesse alicerçado em dois conceitos primordiais – galeria em papel e underground acessível, num modelo de publicação que opera como veículo à exposição de trabalhos artísticos originais, sem excluir a matéria textual e a reflexão.

Para o seu IV número, desafiaram a OUT.RA a contar parte da sua história num suporte visual, e após aceitarmos o repto participamos com quatro páginas de colagens que mostram o nosso lado mais informal, alicerçado nas relações humanas e na vivência quotidiana dos espaços do Barreiro.

O lançamento tem lugar em Setúbal, na belíssima Casa da Avenida, e deixamos o convite a todos para aparecer e adquirir um exemplar.

Mais informações here.

Entretanto, relembramos que estão à venda no Posto de Turismo do Barreiro e na Locomotiva os bilhetes para a nossa última programação do ano – e que programação: os portuenses 10 000 Russos descem ao Barreiro para um concerto de apresentação do seu maravilhoso álbum “Kompromat”, acabado de editar e de rodar por mais de 50 concertos em terras europeias e americanas. A primeira parte está a cargo do Miguel Abras, a animação sonora é do Xamã Roque. Marquem o dia 20 de Dezembro no calendário!

Mais sobre o concerto here.

10 000 Russos ao vivo no Barreiro

To cap off an intense year of programming, on the 20th of this month we'll be welcoming 10 000 Russos to Gasoline. Currently one of the most interesting and international bands Portuguese bands active today (something we're easily able to say without much doubt or exaggeration), the Porto band has just returned to Portugal following a tour of Mexico (!) in September and an European tour with over 50 stops in October and November (!!).

Starting off the evening will be Miguel Abras, the "gutter poet" we saw in great form in OUT.FEST's opening concert as the special guest in the Gabriel Ferrandini + Camerata Musical do Barreiro performance, and the after party will be guided by Xamã Roque, one of Barreiro's finest musical disseminators.

Tickets are already available at the Barreiro Tourism Office and at Locomotiva at the price of 5€ (2,5€ for under 25 yrs old). As usual, you can also make a reservation by emailing info@outra.pt.

Join us in celebrating a 2019 full of great concerts and getting pumped up for what comes next!
