BoCA goes to Vale da Amoreira | Música Cigana Camões Yanomami / A Soma de Todxs

La Família Gitana areAri Monteiro, Ângelo Quintino, Rui Marques, Hugo Fernandes and Ângelo Giménes, who, in addition to the blood ties that unite them as a family, make heritage and tradition a daily pleasure. António Poppe is a poet and visual artist, or perhaps something permanently in transit between the two, in the implied act of awareness of the being-together-in-the-present, or if meditation were not also a fundamental part of the artist he is.

In a combination between poetry and music, the performance Música Cigana Camões Yanomami / A Soma de Todxs is a concert-performance that combines the poetry of Luís Vaz de Camões, texts by Davi Kopenawa (indigenous leader of the Yanomami community in the Amazon), with Roma music. This meeting creates a communicating composition between original expressions. The conviviality of plural learning is vivifying. This is community. Composing music and poetry to contemplate the unique nature of the world. The firm determination to end the violence of exclusion. A group for contemplating the fusion that never stops revealing nature.
