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.
Nick Nicotine + Jafuipedro
In February, Café Duplo is hosting another musical meeting, this time between JAFUIPEDRO and Nick Nicotine. The former is Pedro Afonso, co-founder of Albicastrenses Norton. He made his solo debut in Portuguese with the singles ‘Estendal da Razão’ and ‘Vida de Recreio’. JAFUIPEDRO represents the essence of a singer-songwriter, a storyteller who dresses up the apparent simplicity of his songs with guitar, drum machine and a couple of synthesisers. Nick Nicotine emerges from the smoky city of Barreiro in an ode to the origins of rock and roll, to love as a weapon aimed at the heart and psychedelia aimed at the head. A man of seven instruments, he has played vocals, guitar, bass, keys and drums in dozens of bands. He is the founder of ‘Hey, Pachuco!’, the cultural association that created the Barreiro Rocks festival in 2000 and which houses Estúdio King. He is currently working on two new discs for Nicotine’s Orchestra.
