After the big "African Party" that took place in the Museum gardens in September, this event will take place in the charming and warm "old sala".

Al-Bravía is a result of the fusion of the traditional Alentejo with Brazilian and Algarvian music. The band comprises João Frade - accordion; Rico Lima - guitar, percussion and vocals; Paulo Rosa (Paulão) - drums; and Paulo Colaço - guitar, vocals and viola campaniça (a 10- or 12-stringed guitar with a deeply indented waist almost like a figure of eight).

Al-Bravía

As usual, there will be a jam session after the concert.

No reservation required - first come first served!
