In the second half of 2024, we will continue the Café Curto cycle of showcases, which began in October 2020 and has already had more than 150 sessions. On a weekly basis, on Tuesday evenings, the public will be able to enjoy a variety of musical proposals on the stage of the Café Concerto of the Convento São Francisco. Between 3 September and 17 December, there will be 15 performances featuring artists with expressions ranging from the intimacy of folk song, to the experimentalism of electronica, the energy of pop, the boldness of jazz and the unique jazz and the singularity of world music.

Líquen

Líquen arises from the individual expression of Constança Ochoa, a singer from Coimbra, in a fusion of voice and poetry, with influences ranging from Portuguese popular music to alternative pop. The co-creator of Peixinhos da Horta and member of Human Natures has now embraced solo composition, and has plunged into a collective strategy for producing her songs, together with the three musicians and producers Buga Lopes, Pepas and Leonardo Patrício. Líquen, as a symbiotic organism, represents the perfect metaphor for the identity of the project, which aims to move between voice, electronic and acoustic, exploring the diverse influences that each member of the quartet brings to the rehearsal room.
