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.

Sana Cissokho

Sana Cissokho is a Senegalese musician who, from an early age, was brought up on the art of storytelling and playing the traditional kora string instrument. Descended from a lineage of legendary masters such as Toumani Diabaté, Ballaké Sissoko and Sona Jobarteh (the first female kora player to receive international recognition), Cissokho follows in the ancestral footsteps of this musical tradition, keeping its rich cultural heritage alive. His repertoire combines it with a contemporary approach and has already taken him to festivals such as Sauti Za Busara in Tanzania and World Music Week in Portugal.
