25 Anos de Música Original nos Açores
25 years of original music in the Azores
In 1982 the Azorean band Construção recorded its debut album Há Qualquer Coisa, one of the first professionally recorded music album of the Azores. Its 25th anniversary was chosen by the Teatro Micaelense to symbolically produce an event dedicated to the music of Azorean singers and songwriters. This project involved: - the making of the Azorean Authors Songbook, by Rafael Fraga and Augusto Macedo; - Live concerts in Ponta Delgada, Horta, Angra do Heroísmo and Lisbon; - a CD, recorded at the Teatro Micaelense (released 2010); - a DVD (documentary): Canções de Luz e de Sombra (Songs of Light and Shadow - released 2010). >> CD/DVD page Teatro Micaelense invited Rafael Fraga to write the arrangements and orchestrations for the project, and José Medeiros to direct the DVD. RTP-A channel co-produced the event and broadcasted it on local television. Technical layout | Concert
