Duo Além Organized by the Terra Batida Association, in partnership with Caco—the Odemira Municipality Artisans’ Association—this concert-performance is part of the “Criar às Sextas” initiative, bringing sounds from around the world to the streets. Blending the harmony of the accordion with the melody of the trumpet, Nuno Salvado and Nuno Reis present music for dancing and dreaming. From African rhythms to Balkan energy, from the atmosphere of jazz to the rhythm of bossa nova, Duo Além offers a musical experience for a diverse audience. Whether at a window, on a balcony, or on a terrace, residents, passersby, and visitors will be immediately captivated by the duo’s infectious energy or their sweet, melancholic melodies. This musical journey will make a stop at Livraria Mirabolante, and the performance will culminate at Espaço Criar (Travessa do Miradouro, No. 1, Odemira) starting at 6:00 p.m., where the concert will be complemented by creative workshops and local snacks, offering a late afternoon of socializing and cultural celebration.
