Madeira Bela

I played in Madeida Island in Funchal and in Calheta.

I played a full-house concert in the Consarvatory in Funchal called Escola das Artes da Madeira run by InĂªs Costa Neves. She is a great school manager. She managed to get two articles in the two biggest daily paper of Madeira as well as a live performance in the program Lado a Lado at RTP Madeira. It was on last Thursday 21th January.

You can read the articles in Portuguese at the website of Jornal da Madeira and Dnoticias

I scanned the printed version of the Jornal.



Next day I played in the cultural centre of Calheta which is at the other side of the island at Centro das Artes | Casa das Mudas. I played for kids. There were around two or three hundred I dont know exactly.

We did a quick video diary about the concerts. You can see the some moments of my tv performance as well as pictures from Funchal and Calheta concerts.

New Years Eve in Sem Fim in Monsaraz

I was playing on a New Years Eve party in the wonderfull Sem Fim in Monsaraz which is in the Alentejo region very close to Spain. I played a lot there all together two hours.

OPn this video I am playing J.S. Bach: D-major Praeludium and Francisco Tarrega: Capriccio Arabe



I met a very good guy there. There was a rock-blus band plaing during the party and the bass player - he is an incredible musician - was trained in the USA by Jeff Berlin. His name is Sergio Juliao and we became friends. We were talking about music a lot.
