FMM sinuses. Tradition and modernity with a Portuguese and Catalan foot

O The project’s self-titled album was released worldwide on Glitterbeat Records, earning them their first Carlos do Carmo Award and taking them to stages around the world.

Both admit that they really like FMM because it represents a “very open vision of traditional music”, the same vision that they acknowledge.

The concert was scheduled for 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic has changed their lives. “When we finish concerts, they have a different load because of the very negative social moment that the world has gone through,” suggests Raul Refri in an interview with Lusa.

“It was a very difficult moment for everyone, not only for culture or music, but for everything, for everyone,” says the musician.

There are also people who have lost “a lot of work and a lot of money” due to the pandemic. Therefore, for Raul, the opportunity to play FMM at the festival is a holiday.

When asked which instrument he prefers out of the many that he has, the producer of such artists as Silvia Perez Cruz, Lee Ranaldo or Rosalia, replies that this is an instrument that is constantly changing. Today you may prefer a sampler or a synthesizer, but tomorrow you may like the piano more. After all, “I think every day I’m a different person.”

About a new album of originals, Lina replies that she would like it very much and believes that Raul would like it too, assuming negotiations are open for the future.

Although today they focus on FMM Sines, on singing and talking, “which is also poetry.” “We are very happy”.

“We all have the freedom to create around what is tradition and bring in these new sounds and understand that there is a way and that you can be very sensitive to hearing and emotions. music and that leads us to do something different and for free”Lena finishes.

The Músicas do Mundo (FMM) Festival returned this Friday to the municipality of Sines, where it will run until July 30, after a two-year break, with a program of 47 concerts by artists from four continents.

Ava Rocha, Bia Ferreira, Letrux, Marina Sena (Brazil), Ana Tijou, Pascuala Ilabaca (Chile), Queen Ifrica (Jamaica), Omar Portuondo, Daime Arosena (Cuba), Dominique Fils-Aimé (Quebec), Aline Frazao, Dulce Pontes and Sara Correia (Portugal) are among the artists featured in the 22nd FMM, postponed to this year due to the covid-19 pandemic.

Seun Kuti and Egypt 80, Etuk Ubong (Nigeria), James BCS (Cameroon), Re:Imaginar Monte Cara (Cape Verde), Club Makumba, Fado Bicha, Paulo Braganza, Pedro Mafama (Portugal), Albert Pla, Angelica Salvi and Bauca (Spain) are also among the artists confirmed this year.

As in previous editions, the program is divided between the village of Porto Covo, between this Friday and Sunday, and the city of Sines, from 25 to 30 July.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
