Sérgio Godinho with guests
What comes to mind when I think I’ll be at Campo Pequeno on 23 April? Lisbon, of course. My familiarity with this city came in part from my experience of its concert halls, their vibrancy and sense of togetherness. Their audiences know, and took with them that which they had given to me. And now […]

The Christmas Vilancicos of Iberia and Dan Luz Al Sol Ensemble
Vilancicos were a popular form of music at Christmas in 16th and 17th-century Iberia and its colonies. From Portugal the black vilancicos of Santa Cruz de Coimbra are admirable examples of the mixing of cultures. This is also visible in the motets of Gaspar Fernandes, who emigrated from Portugal to Guatemala and Mexico. From Spain, […]
