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. Rafael Fraga was invited to assumed musical and artistic direction, writing new arrangements and orchestrations for an ensemble of 14 musicians (singers, jazz piano quartet, string quartet, percussion, winds, etc.). The project resulted in the making of the Azorean Authors Songbook, live concerts and a CD/DVD. |
