With a singing and Portuguese guitar concert entitled "Fados e Canções Portuguesas", by Carla Pontes (soprano) and Tiago Morna (Portuguese guitar), on 10 November, 2024, at the Centro Cultural Convento S. José, in Lagoa (Algarve), at 5:00 pm.

Entry to this event is free but it is highly recommended to book in advance online (www.ideiasdolevante.info/reservas).

The "Levante" is an easterly wind that blows in the region of the Strait of Gibraltar. It can also be considered an easterly or northeasterly wind on the east coast of Spain. In the Strait of Gibraltar the average wind can reach values of up to 60-70 km/h, giving rise to southeasterly waves over 2 meters high on the south coast of the Algarve.

According to the production, "this concert is a tribute to composers and lyricists of fado and Portuguese songs. It is also a tribute to the great voice of fado, Amália Rodrigues, who passed away 25 years ago. This concert approaches these fados and songs from a perspective of more lyrical singing, with the voice of the versatile soprano Carla Pontes and the sound of Tiago Morna's Portuguese guitar".

Born in Alfama, Carla Pontes became an opera singer in the south of the country. Tiago Morna regularly accompanies fado singers in the most diverse fado houses in Lisbon. This meeting is a return to the roots and also an approach using new voices of the music that unites us.
