Portuguese Music Meets Modern Jazz - Sound Series
โQuem canta, seus males espantaโ, or โThose who sing chase their troubles away.โ Inspired by this Portuguese saying, students from the Royal Conservatoire Brussels take you on a musical journey through Portuguese sounds and stories. From traditional melodies and an old lullaby to songs by Fausto, Jorge Palma, Sรฉrgio Godinho and Josรฉ Mรกrio Branco, the programme moves from intimate and reflective moments to lively, rhythmic music. With flute, voice, saxophone, double bass and drums, the students bring a fresh and personal sound to this rich musical tradition.
This concert is organised in collaboration with the Embassy of Portugal in Belgium.
