 Blending Portuguese folk tradition with classical music, Eira is a 25 minute setting of original texts and music by Rafael Fraga. Inspired in the essence of Azorean popular poetry and vocal music, Eira pursues innovative languages and sound universes, after several months of research, compositional and poetic work. Eira will now be recorded and brought to public, in two open rehearsal sessions.
