The Algarve Jazz Orchestra (OJA) will return to its in-person concerts tomorrow, April 23, in the Municipal Auditorium of Lagoa, at 19:30 pm, in a special show “Liberdades”.
The orchestra "presents a program that leaps from a challenge", emerging "in a temporal moment where many of us forget what freedom is and its limits, what this implies in all our lives and moments".
«If on the one hand we have the unavoidable “E After Adeus”, or “Philosopher's Stone”, also around the world we will have a “Bella Ciao”, or a “Blowing In The Wind”».
In order to celebrate the 25th of April 1974, «thus we merged several authors, from Zeca Afonso, Paulo de Carvalho, Manuel Freire to Bob Dylan, John Lennon or Bob Marley, among others» thus bringing together various «visions on Liberty, or of the various Freedoms, after all».
With several orchestrators selected from countries, such as the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States of America, Germany or Iceland, “we will be able to listen to each of them reading about the selected musical themes, while respecting what they are”, he reveals.
To give shape to this new “Jazz-Freedom” concept, OJA will bring together two voices. «If Ana Laíns doesn't need great presentations, and will give voice to those that are the national themes, already the emerging one, Ana “Cherry” Caldeira lends her voice to international themes. Duets are, of course, inevitable, and will also mark this program».
This show by the Orquestra de Jazz do Algarve, previously recorded at the venues, will also be broadcast online by the municipalities of Portimão (April 24th), Monchique e Tavira (both on the 25th of April), through social networks.
