Café Curto, at the table with music.
The Café Curto cycle is returning in 2025 with the usual proposal: every week a thirty-minute showcase is served, with a strong focus on young artists and emerging projects. Since 2020, more than 170 sessions have taken place, putting Coimbra on the map of the national music circuit. In addition to the express showcases, music is enjoyed in double doses in the last week of each month with Café Duplo, an artistic dialogue between different languages and geographies, resulting in a unique concert.

Gisela Mabel

Gisela Mabel is a Portuguese-Angolan pianist, composer, producer and artist based in Lisbon. Influenced by classical, neoclassical, jazz and contemporary music, as well as Afro-Brazilian cultural rhythms, her music is characterised by the contrast between delicate melodies and dense, troubled harmonies, in a strongly cinematic and sensorial atmosphere. The result is an expressive style that invites the listener to a moment of introspection and intimacy, in an immersive and emotional experience.
