This Tuesday, July 23, Mar de Musicas dresses up at 11 p.m. to receive at the Parque Torres Auditorium, which is undoubtedly Portugal's most international voice, Mariza.
The great voice of fado, the heiress of Amalia Rodriguez returns to a festival that has hosted her throughout her career.
Before on the CIM stage you can see one of the most successful duos of Portugal Dead Combo and in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento that Chilean that brings sounds of the folklore of the country of Violeta Parra, Pascuala Ilabaca.
On the stage of the CIM square, a new double session with Resonante Basu Band, a group that makes all its instruments reusing materials, at La Mar Chica and Moody Sake on the Somos de Aqui stage.
Mariza could have been the protagonist of Dulce María Cardoso's great book "The Return."
Like the protagonists of the book, published by the publishing house La Umbría y la Solana, Mariza and her family had to leave Mozambique with the conquest of independence in the former Portuguese colony.
And they had to do it without looking back, leaving home, friends and with everything that fit in a suitcase.
“We arrived in Lisbon with nothing and no one who wanted us.
We went into the neighborhood of La Morería in a house where water entered when it rained.
No one loved us.
There was no money, there was no work.
My mom was black;
my dad, blond, and I, like this, with this little color â€he declared a few years ago in an interview for El País.
That girl has grown up and now everyone loves her, everyone looks at her.
Suffice it to say Mariza and the theaters of the world open, from the Sydney Opera House to the Royal Albert Hall, and their lockers hang the "all sold".
Maria dos Reis Nunes, Mariza, now carries the responsibility of being the highest representative of Portuguese culture in the world.
The biggest fadist from Amália Rodrigues;
No one would dare to discuss it at this point.
Many people have wanted to know the music, the language, the Portuguese culture, after knowing their music.
It is no longer that renovator of fado that stirred the Portuguese fans twenty years ago with its novel approach to gender.
It is the most international of the vocalists in her country thanks to her dedicated way of being on stage and her curiosity to enter other more international vocal plots.
The UNESCO ambassador for the preservation of traditional fado and Luso-Spanish Prize for Art and Culture 2018 comes to La Mar de Música, a festival that has hosted it throughout her career years, to present her latest album, entitled, simply Mariza.
At 9:30 p.m. in the Patio del Antiguo CIM, as if they were characters from a novel by Charles Bukowski, as if Fernando Pessoa was shaking hands with Tom Waits ... That's how the Portuguese Dead Combo spend them, that is, Pedro Gonçalves and Tó Trips.
The mestizo Lisbon saw them born and grow.
They carry the night of the merger in their soul and in their new album, "Odeon Hotel", they give free rein to an amalgam without prejudice, because there are traces of Morriocone, Ry Cooder, jazz, blues and even post -rock, always with the instrumental pieces by flag.
Without letters or words, the duo sounds like the clarity of the Yew, Lisbon, Portugal or the Mediterranean;
also to Africa or the desert of the United States.
In order to capture these landscapes it is necessary to find a sound: in this case a guitar and a double bass with a certain background of rock'n'roll and years dedicated to music crossing continents, collecting fado.
Pedro Gonçalves and Tó Trips are two characters: a gangster and a gravedigger who come out of a comic to make powerful and visually stunning concerts.
His music is one of the most beautiful and unique chapters born in Portugal in the last decade.
In the Town Hall square, at around 8:00 p.m., Pascuala Ilabaca.
Born in Valparaiso, Pascuala has become one of the representatives of the Latin American song in the world.
Author, composer, singer, accordionist and pianist, the Pascuala has one of the most outstanding trajectories among the Chilean musicians of the 21st century.
Elements of Chilean folklore, Latin American rhythms and Indian music are sources for its repertoire.
If a word had to define it is multiculturalism.
Accompanied by his formidable band Fauna, his presence on stage is unique, evoking sweetness and empowerment at the same time, and giving life to his songs with fragility and verve.
He comes for the second time to La Mar de Música, he was already in 2015 in the Special Chile singing to Violeta Parra.
He will be in this edition to present his latest album "The myth of the pergola" where he celebrates music in public spaces.
Powerful Troubadour
In the Plaza del CIM, at 20:30 hours the components of the Murcian band Moody Sake.
Some in love with the 70's, rock n 'roll, garage blues and artists like Jimmy Hendrix, Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple.
The old sound is his thing, they have a very powerful and energetic live.
In the same square, at 7:00 p.m., Rosonante.
Sound is everywhere: cans, boxes, wood, veneers and more everyday objects gather on stage in the hands of the Resonante wild luthieres.
Guitars built with fruit boxes, metalophones made with copper tubes, flutes made of PVC, a battery created with drums, pots and pans, violins and calimbas that resonate in reused cans, an electric bass developed from a ribbon of wood collected from the container ... And with these musical instruments built with waste and everyday objects they try to show that music is an art that can be available to everyone.
