Brazilian artist Momo will play at dusk at Galeria Arco, in Faro, and at the Fortaleza de Sagres, in Vila do Bispo, on Saturday and Sunday, the 9th and 10th of June, respectively.
This will be the third concert of the 2018 edition of "Concerts at Sunset", an initiative of the association ArQuente, promoted in partnership with the Regional Directorate of Culture of the Algarve, which integrates the program DIVaM – Dynamization and Valorization of Monuments.
Em Faro, the concert takes place at 19:30 pm, at Galeria Arco, the headquarters of ArQuente, in Vila Adentro of the Algarve capital. At the Fortaleza de Sagres, the show starts at 18:00.
«Singer and composer Momo, musical nickname of Marcelo Frota, has in his group of followers names like Patti Smith and David Byrne, giants who shared their music in playlists and Facebook murals. Camané is one of the most recent confessed fans of this Brazilian who chose Portugal to live in», according to the Regional Directorate of Culture of the Algarve
«Besides being a friend of Marcelo, I became a fan of Momo's music. I started listening to their records at home and attending their concerts. He is an excellent lyricist, with sensitivity to portray the daily life, especially in Alfama, where he lived during the last year», said the fado singer.
Momo, who had already given “Concertos ao Entardecer” in 2015, released several albums that deserved international acclaim and recognition. His latest album, “Voá” (2017), unites samba and fado and “represents the geographical change, the crossing of the Atlantic, that thing from overseas”, in the words of the Brazilian artist.
The June 10 concert is part of the schedule of the Day of Portugal and the European Year of Cultural Heritage.
