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

Chuck Johnson / Berlau & A.M. Ramos

CHUCK JOHNSON

O norte-americano Chuck Johnson é um dos mais destacados guitarristas solo da sua geração, integrando o grupo restrito de herdeiros e impulsionadores do fingerpicking, na linha da escola fundada pelo mágico John Fahey, um dos mestres absolutos do séc.XX.

Depois de dois álbuns aclamados (‘Crows in the Basilica’, 2013 e ‘Blood Moon Boulder’, 2015), apresenta em tournée europeia o novo e excelente ‘Velvet Arc’, no qual se aventurou por caminhos recentemente explorados por Steve Gunn ou Chris Forsyth, seus companheiros de editora, adicionando outros músicos e instrumentos à sua expansiva palete de sons e melodias.

Neste espectáculo no Be Jazz, no entanto, veremos Chuck Johnson no contexto que melhor o define: dedos e guitarra, apenas, e um sentido de melodia, risco e encantamento igualmente fascinantes e cativantes.

BERLAU & AM RAMOS

O guitarrista barreirense Fernando Ramalho e o saxofonista António Ramos iniciaram, em 2015, uma colaboração que coloca em cena um gosto múto pela improvisação e por paisagens sonoras de sentimento à flor da pele.

Já este ano, numa das edições do open-day da ADAO, os universos de Berlau e AM Ramos encontraram-se para um concerto do qual saíram as fundações de “Red Railbus Sessions”, disco surpresa gravado numa sala cedida pela associação barreirense, e que cristaliza um diálogo belo e honesto entre dois executantes que quase sempre privilegiam a emoção como motor do fluxo que molda estas quatro faixas.

Evocando em partes iguais a espiritualidade de Don Cherry e a intimidade psicadélica de Ry Cooder, “Red Railbus Sessions” é um momento de escape feliz e sereno, que chega a ser desarmante pela honestidade que transparece ao longo de trinta minutos, e que poderemos testemunhar no palco do Be Jazz.

Agenda OUT.RA para Setembro

Enquanto preparamos a divulgação do cartaz completo do 13º OUT.FEST (recordem os nomes já confirmados here), é com um sorriso rasgado que anunciamos a nossa programação regular OUT.RA Música para o mês de Setembro, repleta de nomes internacionais do mais alto gabarito e com a promessa de concertos inesquecíveis e o melhor dos aperitivos para o grande acontecimento de Outubro.

Assim, este mês vamos não uma mas duas vezes ao Velvet Be Jazz Club, primeiro, no dia 17, com o fantástico guitarrista norte-americano Chuck Johnson, um dos máximos expoentes do fingerpicking contemporâneo, acabado de lançar um fascinantes disco pela prestigiadíssima editora Three Lobed, bem secundado pelo projecto que junta o guitarrista barreirense Berlau (Fernando Ramalho) ao saxofonista A.M. Ramos.

Depois, a 24, um duplo concerto que se avizinha bombástico – com o lendário Tom Carter, guitarrista dos inigualáveis Charalambides e grande viajante psicadélico das 6 cordas eléctricas, e o regresso do prodigioso baterista Chris Corsano, desta vez em duo com Rodrigo Amado, saxofonista que é, cada vez mais, uma das figuras de proa do jazz europeu e máximo motivo de orgulho para a música nacional.

Para completar uma trilogia de sábados de eleição, a 1 de Outubro exibimos, em estreia nacional no Cine Clube do Barreiro, o filme “But the Word Dog Does not Bark”, que acompanha de perto uma das mais recentes tournées do Schlippenbach Trio, talvez uma das duas grandes formações da história do jazz europeu, e cujo concerto no OUT.FEST 2011 ainda perdurará por certo na nossa memória – e que melhor ocasião para ver este filme, que nos oferece ângulos privilegiados do labor de Alexander von Schlippenbach, Paul Lovens e Evan Parker,  do que em vésperas da actuação do trio deste último (a outra das duas grandes formações da história do jazz europeu) no OUT.FEST 2016?

Sim, prometemos um Setembro a um ritmo incrível, com alguma da melhor música do mundo – e depois, logo logo a seguir, mais um Outubro em modo OUT.FEST: imprevisível, surpreendente e fundamental.

No Barreiro, pois claro.

See you soon!
