Release of the Festival Giacometti Register notebook 2018-2020 with an unpublished clip by Marta Pereira da Costa.
Around clay, cante and the world, this is Festival Giacometti.
The images reveal events from the live editions of the Festival Giacometti in its musical and cultural richness and diversity, when it brings together the lemon tree and the mint, when three women are thirty generations and a community thanks the fire of fire for saying goodbye.
2020 is the year in which Festival Giacometti, even if confined to the digital medium, does not abdicate proximity, insists on inhabiting the musical and human depth and, brings with it unpublished lapidated clip by Marta Pereira da Costa.
Unpublished clip, made during the confinement times.
Known on prestigious international stages, Marta Pereira da Costa and her Portuguese guitar, offer here the genius, the oceanic, and the intimacy of Verdes Anos.
This unpublished clip, made during the confinement times, is priceless delivery that greatly honours the Giacometti Festival.

Video recording of liturgical chants at the Núcleo Museológico de Arte Sacra de Ferreira do Alentejo - Festival Giacometti 2019.
Soledonna - Polyphonies of Corsica or the Shared Mediterranean, is a female trio, in itself unconventional, that sings of Corsica as it celebrates its ancient sacred heritage and exquisitely explores the intermingling of Mediterranean cultures.
In the Museum Centre of Sacred Art of Ferreira do Alentejo, the unique and wonderful trio Soledonna performed two liturgical chants from Corsica. In Paradisu, mass for the dead and Sanctus, mass of the living.
The trio Soledonna composed of three female authors-composers-interpreters brings a confident and serene modernity to the world, while taking us into a powerful experience in which the complexities of human history are sung and gain universal echo. The a capella songs are integrated into her everyday life and, the osmosis between tradition and modernity crowns her artistic approach. Innovation after innovation, perseverance and daring are measures that define the exceptionally diverse career of this group awarded France's highest award for traditional music.
Video recording of songs at Festival Giacometti 2019.

Video recording of dance at Festival Giacometti 2019.
The Batucaderas de Marapano de Porto Salvo and their guest Jorge Funaná jumped off the stage and opened the dance floor. It was a lively dance; there was no heat that could give a moment's peace.
Dona Maria was saying a few months before the date of 2019 Festival Giacometti: we're going to play a lot in Ferreira do Alentejo, we'll bring a Funaná and Deolinda Fidalgo is our soloist!
