Portuguese music will warm up the autumn nights of the Algarve's barrocal, in Santo Estêvão, Tavira. Casa do Povo will host, for the third time, concerts from the Outonalidades circuit.
Pedro Jóia (September 27th, 22 pm), Omiri (October 00th), João Gentil with Luanda Cozzetti (November 17th), Edu Miranda (November 6st) and A Charanga (December 21th) are the projects that will go through that Algarve village.
José Barradas, president of the Casa do Povo of Santo Estêvão, explained to the Sul Informação that the integration of the village in a circuit that has 60 concerts and 39 artists in 16 spaces across the country is an asset for the locality and for the region.
«We managed to bring this cycle to the Algarve, at a time when concerts rarely take place. We managed to gather support, joined wills and a financial engineering that allows us to promote decentralization, networking and Portuguese music, represented with great performers. It is important to work to combat seasonality and the lack of supply in these places, taking music to disadvantaged territories», he explained.
Although this is the 19th edition of Outonalidades, it is the third time he has come to Santo Estêvão and “it hasn't been held here for four or five years. This is a project of Associação D'Orfeu, from Águeda, with whom we became acquainted, in a conversation in Seville a few years ago, and the proposal came up to bring these concerts to the Algarve», added José Barradas.
The initiative helps, according to the official, «bring people to the interior, helps fight desertification and helps the economy. People can come here and try a medronho or lamb chops. It is an integration between music and gastronomy too», he said.
The Autumnalidades concert cycle promises to bring people from all over the Algarve to Santo Estêvão, who will interact with those who live in that village of Barrocal, not least because these concerts do not go unnoticed by those who live there.
“It's interesting that the people who live here also go to concerts. It is interesting for the public to cross paths, not least because whoever lives here maintains a very strong connection with the Casa do Povo. Such different audiences make an interesting mix», considers José Barradas.
Of the names that will perform in Santo Estêvão, Pedro Jóia, guitarist from Mariza, is the best known name, but «they are all excellent performers, from different matrices, from guitar, accordion, to more electronic music, as is the case of Charanga, there is a great diversity and different sounds, for different types of audience».
