In the evening, at 21 pm, the musician Rodrigo Leão joins the Youth Choir of Loulé to present “A Estranha Beleza da Vida”, at Cineteatro Louletano.
This show, in which Rodrigo Leão presents himself as Rodrigo Leão Cinema Project, brings together repertoire from the three albums released in 2020 and 2021 (“O Method”, “Avis 2020” and “A Estranha Beleza da Vida”), as well as a selection of composer's classical themes. It is therefore quite eclectic, with a wide range of musical styles.
The proposal to elevate Loulé to city status was approved on December 18, 1987, but only on February 1, 1988 was it published in the Diário da República.
