Description

Cristina Branco returns to the acclaimed album Abril for a special tour in the year celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 25th of April. After a recent tour with full venues in Portugal and abroad to present her latest album Mãe, the singer joins the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the 25th of April in a series of shows, bringing to the stage the album Abril, released in 2007 , dedicated to the songs of Zeca Afonso. In concert, he revisits the 16 tracks from the album, including emblematic songs such as Menino d’Oiro, Venham Mais Cinco, Era um Redondo Vocábulo, A Morte Saiu à Rua or Índios da Meia Praia. A live experience that features an exceptional group of musicians: Ricardo Dias on piano, Bernardo Moreira on double bass, Alexandre Frazão on drums and Mário Delgado on electric guitar. Cristina Branco has captivated audiences around the world with her unique voice and passionate interpretations, in a remarkable career with 18 albums released. His work is a huge contribution to the dissemination and defense of Portuguese music, language and authors. Returning to April is an authentic manifestation of respect and admiration for Zeca Afonso and sets the perfect tone to celebrate 50 years of the 25th of April and freedom.

“There is a clarity in Cristina Branco’s music, almost a translucency, that illuminates the words (…) it is music for the heart.”
