what a night!!! a concert with my favorite band in Portugal opening up one of the coolest parties of Lisbon...First because the party has a nice subject and goal, and then because it's for free and everyone is welcome :-), the rich and the poor...
"Terrakota" is the band who delighted all of us with more then a concert, but an amazing 3 hour show and performance...
They also invited 2 Moroccan guys and one angolan to play together with them in few songs that have their own country's influence...they also invited 2 hip hop street dancers and 2 "capoeira" dancers (Brazilian dancers) which gave the show a really nice touch and vibe... the crowd got all excited !!! well, it's kinda impossible to stay still in a Terrakota concert...unless you are really boring !!!
They are just great and really special people ... I love them... I know most of them from hanging out in Lisbon, and they're pretty much good friends of everybody...their music and presence portraits a lot of what this party is all about : UNITY, RESPECTING AND ENJOYING DIVERSITY...it's a 3 day party with music, information and tastes from all sorts of countries which are represented here in Lisbon, like Angola, Cabo Verde, Mozambique, Guine Bissau, S.Tome&Principe, Marroco, India, China, Brazil, etc...
there's a whole programm during the day with theatre, dance and circus performances, and also debates about the laws for immigrant people, ethnic minorities associations, racial discrimination, etc...
Terrakota also spoke on behalf of that, like immigrants' rights, racial and gender discrimination, against the abuse of power, etc...they have a new song that speaks about respecting women which I liked a lot...they also encouraged people to get united and fight for good causes, being more aware and involved in political decision making, like being more active in protests for instance...
If they keep going like this, I believe they will make so much more "noise" in this country...
check them out by clicking in this title...maybe they will play somewhere near you as they are touring all over the world...
they have a dream to go around Africa touring...and they are also willing to play for free for charity projects, like helping the poor and needed...they are not rich themselves, but they have a very rich heart :-)... if you can help them, or know someone who can, just get in touch with them :-) ... invite them if you're into organizing events in behalf of good causes :-) , they would accept it for sure...
Bless them Jesus !!! and thanks for keeping the clouds away yesterday :-) !!!
