or… join us at the ball, in English.
O Baile represents the best of underground Portuguese music happening in London right now.
From Bands to Djs and spanning many other art forms, O Baile is a new platform to explore exciting cultural manifestations. Although mainly showcasing emerging talent from Portugal it will also incorporate diverse multi-national artists. Portuguese Fado and the success of more traditional artists like Marisa and Madredeus have exported Portuguese musical traditions with a contemporary twist.
The breakthrough across the world of Buraka Som Sistema (one of citizens´favorites bands) has given us a glimpse of what other talent is hiding in the underground scene in Lisbon and across the country.
O Baile will provide a platform to present talent from Portugal to a London audience. Live Music and Djs from Kuduro, Hip Hop, Fado, Electronica, House, Dubstep, Deconstructed Fado, Rock, Pop and anything else they fancy. Mixed with Food, Fashion, Art, Design, Grafitti and all things Portuguese.
O Baile his brought to you by Mariana (one citizen) and Joana Seguro and if you missed the first one, you don´t want to miss the second. Friday, 3rd April, at Bar Music Hall, free entry and spectacular line up with more beats, fun and dancing.
This time: Octa Push, two brothers from Lisboa. Their style takes influence from all over – Grime, Bashment, Dub, Techno, Portuguese, African, Dubstep, Cut and Glitch.. the list goes on..
For those that didn’t make it, here is the video (filmed and edited by Giorgia Polizzi, soundtrack by Buraka Som Sistema and Stereo Addiction)
