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.
Nuno Carpinteiro & Miguel Calhaz
In June, Café Duplo brings together two accomplished instrumentalists. Nuno Carpinteiro is a multi-instrumentalist, known for his close relationship with the accordion, which has accompanied him from an early age. As well as participating in other projects and collaborating with other artists, the musician from Mirandela has released two solo albums, ‘A Montanha’ (2019) and ‘Viagem’ (2022), in which the simplicity, silence and, at the same time, complex harmony he finds on country walks are reflected in his original compositions. Miguel Calhaz is a singer-songwriter and bassist who maintains musical projects in the areas of jazz, world music and Portuguese music. In 2023, he released the album ‘Contra: Contemporânea Tradição’, by JACC Records/Terra Series, and, in 2024, ‘Contra Cantos Vol. 1’, in which he proposes a reinterpretation of songs that marked April and the opposition to the dictatorship.
