Nicolau Santos and Manuel Lourenço
–
The “Jazz & Poetry Ensemble” project is an experience that translates into poetry spoken by Nicolau Santos on a musical base with a jazzy atmosphere, under the responsibility of musician Manuel Lourenço.
In this show, which we’re calling “Under the Sign of Jazz”, we’ll be able to listen to a fusion of themes by the great jazz masters (Miles Davies, John Coltrane, Horace Silver, Ali Farka Touré and others) and new songs by Manuel Lourenço, with rhythmic and melodic approaches to the poetry of the great Lusophone poets (Mário Cesariny, Mário Henrique-Leiria, Vasco Graça Moura, Jorge Sousa Braga, Ruy de Carvalho, José Eduardo Agualusa, José Craveirinha, Aires de Almeida Santos, Alda Lara, Vinicius de Moraes, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Manoel Bandeira, among others), as well as original poetry by Nicolau Santos.
