A man, a guitar and a song. It sounds simple. And it is. Scott Matthews is known for producing masterpieces. His music is considered a Masterclass at the level of honesty, instinct and reflection.

The Egschiglen group was founded in 1991 by master’s students from the Ulán Bator Conservatory. The three elements that make up it today are founding members and the heart of the group that, since its inception, is dedicated to the contemporary interpretation of traditional Mongolian music. The music of a country is inspired by its landscape and the way of life of its people. Mongolia, in the heart of Asia, is a vast territory, approximately twelve times larger than Portugal. It is a country with endless pastures to the south, to the arid beauty of the Gobi desert. In the snowy mountains of Altai and Changai, crystal clear rivers traverse forests and plains. Egschiglen’s music impresses by its variety and expressiveness. They perform traditional songs and works by contemporary Mongolian composers with their harmonious arrangements, using traditional instruments from their country and vocal techniques from Central Asia. You can almost hear the sound of the husks of the strong Mongolian horses: Genghis Khan founded the greatest empire in the world thanks to them. And, again, the music transports us to the pure silence of the Gobi desert, where only the wind sings in the dunes. A music of contrasts of great evocative capacity. The style of khoomii singing, which consists in producing at the same time a very sharp and very guttural sound, seems superhuman. However, the music sounds familiar, expressing timeless human feelings: love, sadness and gratitude.

1Kilo, the most revolutionary rapper collective of Brazilian music arrives in Portugal by Malpevent to present his work for the first time on December 10, at the Capitol, in Lisbon. This is a true phenomenon of modern music, which conquered Rio de Janeiro in 2016, where the secret is acoustic rap, a mix of painted pop guitars, flows, MPB, Trap, pop, and sober lyrics, sometimes romantic and seductive. For the collective 1Kilo, almost anything is worth, as long as the rap has space to value itself and travel to other levels. A show to see on December 10 at the Capitol in Lisbon.

For "Entre-Lugar", Manuel de Oliveira started from his recognized Iberian identity, adding colors and flavors from other places, crossing ethnic with urban, African music with fado, flamenco with tango, in a vast multicultural symbiosis. The viola Braguesa plays a determining role in this multiculturality, already previously explored in the album "Iberia" but, here and now, with a stronger and decisive presence. Braguesa, thanks to its sonority, somewhere between the dolence of the Portuguese Guitar and the exoticism of the Arabic Mandola, gives "EntreLugar" its true meaning, of restless identity, without prejudice and at the same time full of authenticity among the places of Portuguese identity. In concert, Manuel de Oliveira performs in trio with João Frade and Sandra Martins to play "Entre - Lugar" and revisit some of the themes of "Ibéria" and "Amarte".

Author of several reference compositions of the new Portuguese music, and always in Portuguese, it was more than fifteen years ago that embarked on that which would be his first studio adventure, with the Toranja, scoring forever the Portuguese musical panorama. The richness of the simplicity of its poems and melodies quickly captured the attention of the public with the albums "Esquissos" and "Second". Unforgettable themes such as "Letter" and "Laths" are inseparable from their striking voice. The sixth album of original Tiago Bettencourt, "2019 Towards Eclipse" edited this past October will be presented live, with a national tour. The tour will pass through Viana do Castelo, Loulé, Albergaria-a-Old, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Beja, Torres New, Coimbra, Aveiro, Alcanena, Braga, Leiria, Ovar, Estarreja, Évora and Águeda.
