Vale Perdido, which takes place between November 15 and 19 at the Igreja St. George, in B.Leza, in LISA and in the new multidisciplinary complex 8 Marvila, was born from the desire that the programmers Sérgio Hydalgo, Joaquim Quadros and the producer Gustavo Blanco. “invite, share and present music that was eclectic, that in terms of style was quite complete, but that had the common denominator of being quite adventurous,” the former told the Lusa agency.
Although Lisbon has “a very effervescent cultural activity, especially in the world of music,” the three have recently felt the need to create a new event.
They also had in common the desire to bring to Lisbon some artists who had never played in Portugal, “namely, FUJI||||||||||TA, a Japanese sound artist and composer, who develops his instruments, and Joanna Sternberg. , who wrote one of the song albums of the year, an album of very direct but very vulnerable songs.”
Sérgio Hydalgo recalled that, before playing in Lisbon, the North American artist “will perform at some of the most important festivals in Europe, such as the Pitchfork Festival, in London, and Le Guess Who, in Holland”, which will be her first dates. in Europe.
The Japanese composer will perform on the 15th at the Church of San Jorge, preceded by Polido, and Joanna Sternberg on the 16th at B.Leza, with Maria Reis performing the first part.
After FUJI||||||||||TA and Joanna Sternberg, names of other artists emerged, demonstrating the need to “find coherence within diversity.”
For this reason, on November 17 and 18, Vale Perdido is celebrated at number 8 in Marvila. “We are going to present a night of clubbing music, more expansive dance music, and with a headliner who is Luque Vibert, an icon of this musical genre. And before we will also present a night of concerts, with proposals that include a band from Uganda [Nihiloxica]that revisits the traditional music of that country, the Batucadeiras [das Olaias]”They are a national treasure,” explained Sérgio Hydalgo.
On the 17th, in addition to Nihiloxica and Batucadeiras das Olaias, Kléo and Patrícia Brito will also perform, both in a DJ Set.
The lineup on the 18th also includes DJ Caring, Ricardo Grüssll, Tadas Quazar and Violet.
Vale Perdido ends on the 19th, at LISA, with a show that brings together the drummer Gabriel Ferrandini and the multidisciplinary artist Xavier Paes. DJ A:di also performs that day.
“The desire to be able to present these proposals – new albums, national premieres, unusual collaborations – such as those of Gabriel Ferrandini and Xavier Pais, made us believe that it was urgent to create this new place to share and celebrate the music that is the Lost Valley” said Sérgio Hydalgo.
Looking at the poster for this first Lost Valley one realizes that “there is a narrative from the first day to the fifth, a kind of journey that begins with more ambient music and ends in a contemplative way, and oscillates with all kinds of proposals.” . , more expansive to the songs.”
