For four saturdays between August 29th and September 19th, as part of the "Paz & Amizade" cycle, we will host concerts by Vaiapraia, Lula Pena, Rodrigo Amado com Ricardo Toscano, João Lencastre e Hernâni Faustino, as well as a brand new performance by local musician Fast Eddie Nelson (on September 19th) whom we've challenged to create a show around Pink Floyd, entitled "Between Barrett and the Moon" which, as the name suggests, will explore the expansive legacy of the British quartet focusing on their releases in the period between Syd Barrett's departure and the massive success of "Dark Side of the Moon".
Before that, on August 29th, Vaiapraia will open this concert cycle with their recent (and highly praised) new album "100% Carisma"; on September 5th the idiosyncratic singer-songwriter Lula Pena takes the stage, fresh off an Italian mini-tour; and on September 12th we'lll host a quartet which brings together several currents of jazz in the form of the union of the two most celebrated Portuguese saxophone players (Rodrigo Amado and Ricardo Toscano) with drummer João Lencastre and double bassist Hernâni Faustino.
These concerts will take place in the late afternoon (18:30) at the open air amphitheatre at the Paz e Amizade Park, a seldom used space inaugurated in 1983, whose name (which translates to Peace and Friendship Park) comes from the anti-nuclear proliferation events which occurred during the summer of that same year in Czechoslovakia.
Tickets (5€ or 2,5€ for under 25-year-olds) are already on sale at outra.bol.pt and associated points of sale, and we strongly recommend that you purchase them in advance to comply with the Directorate-General for Health recommendations. For that same reason, hand sanitization and wearing a mask will be mandatory at the event, and the venue's capacity will be limited to ensure a safe distance between all attending.
Live music will in fact return to Barreiro one day prior to this however, on August 28th, with a show by the recipients of one of the three OUT.RA creative grants for 2020: “Nuvem de Pó” is the first of several public presentations of the work developed by ZIMA (Sara Zita Correia e Marta Ramos), two creatives whose background is rooted in dance and performance and who have been investing themselves in the research of sound as a complementary and non-academic method of self-descovery. This show will take place at SDUB “Os Franceses” at 21h30, with admittance being free of chage subject to the venue's capacity and a mandatory reservation made in advance by e-mailing info@outra.pt, and also to the Directorate-General of Health's guidelines.
