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.
Homem em Catarse + Bea Bandeirinha
In April, Café Duplo presents a very special duo. Homem em Catarse (Man in Catharsis) has been on the fruitful and special ‘Barcelos scene’ for a decade. Based in Braga, since 2013 he has travelled the roads and paths of this country to spread his emotive songs, which are clearly evident on his most recent album ‘natural catharsis’, an inner manifesto that also takes us to songs of intervention and which brings together a melting pot of folk, shoegaze, post-fado and even world music. Bea Bandeirinha is a multidisciplinary artivist, with studies in communication, sustainability and magic, and a project selected by Blue House’s MIC call in 2023. She challenges herself to excavate connections between the present and the complexities of the past and the need to dream. Singing, dancing, poetry, sound and plastic textures animate these issues and call for a revolution of the ground.
