"FADOS NOSSOS" BOOK

"Fados Nossos" is the latest book from photographer Jorge Simao. An actual look at Fado's world and its leading figures. A work that shows the young promising singers and musicians and the masters of the portuguese national song. A book that underlines the unvaluable cultural heritage Fado represents.
Most of the pictures of the book are also available in our archive.

FNAC EXHIBITION

If you live in Lisbon or you are just passing you can attend Marco Pereira and Sara Wong's exhibition at Fnac Colombo until 15th March. “ Folia do Divino” depicts the Divine Holy Spirit Feast, held ever year, 50 days after Easter in the brazilian town of Pirenopolis. The town and surrounding countryside are ran by hordes of horsemen and euphoric “mascarados” and invaded by thousands of attendants from all over the country, conquered by the colorful splendor of the Folia do Divino (Divine spree) and of the local Cavalhadas, a peculiar reconstitution of the medieval crusades. If you can't visit the exhibition this feature is also available in our archive.

BRAVA - THE ISLAND OF THE BRAVE

Brave are the ones that live in Brava. Brave are the ones that decide to travel there. Remote, isolated, these can be ironic words to describe an island only 15km distant from neighbouring Fogo island. But rough sea conditions and no plane connections makes this tiny capeverdian island a destination or a home only for the fearless.
The smallest of the islands that compose Cape Verde archipelago has the "Flowers island" nickname due to its mild climate, and its charming capital Nova Sintra proudly shows its simple colonial architecture as a jewel.
Take a look at this new feature by photographer Luis Filipe Catarino here.

OUR HOME LISBON

Our beloved Lisbon is getting more and more people visiting it. Taking the risk of beeing very suspicious to the foreigner, we can say that we live in one of the most beautiful places in Europe! So, following this idea, we decided to create a group of pictures about Lisbon in our archive to join the feature that Marco and Sara did about its trendy neighborhoods. Enjoy!

ROBINSON CRUSOE

Travel features from Marco and Sara are beeing regularly published in portuguese travel magazine "Rotas&Destinos" and the "Robinson Crusoe Island" feature is another example of this colaboration. Part of the remote Juan Fernandez archipelago the island never welcomed the legend but was the forced home of Alexander Selkirk, the stranded sailor whose story inspired the “Robinson Crusoe” novel.

NEW FEATURES

Just uploaded to our archive, Lura Song and Cafés con Piernas (Cafes with legs) are the two most recent stories by photographers Jordi Burch, Marco Pereira and Sara Wong.

Capeverdian singer Lura was nominated for the 2006 BBC World Music Awards and is commonly said to be the heiress of world famous diva Cesária Évora's legacy. Close to publish her 4th album, Lura's tour passed by her parents homecountry Cape Verde when she played in Santa Maria Music festival, in touristy Sal island. Next concerts will take her to The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and France. Check her official website here.

After their heyday in the late 90s, some Cafés con Piernas still resist in Chilean capital Santiago, employing half-naked women to combine erotic stimulation with the one provided by coffee. Marco and Sara pictured the ambiance of two of these cafes that got their nicknames adapted by locals because of smoked glass screens that protected the identities of those inside but allowed the view of women legs.
