01 MAY — 11 MAY 2024

Here are all the parties of the IndiebyNight program

IndieLisboa’s nights are long. The IndiebyNight program brings to the stage (once again at Casa Independente) and to the dance floor the sounds that mark the programming of IndieMusic, the section dedicated to the screening of the latest music documentaries. In a year marked by prolific national production, there will be space to visit much of the Portuguese music that has marked different generations since the 80s, but those aren’t the only suggestions for this week of parties.

Special attention should be paid to the night of May 10th, which will bring to Casa Independente’s stage 10 bands and musical projects by women that have had an important role in Portuguese music from the last 20 years. From Adelaide Ferreira to the Anarchicks, from Dirty Coal Train to Aurora Pinho, the night will be theirs and it surely will make festival history. Another night that’s worth our attention is the one on May 8th, the musical choices of Jacco Gardner, Gio and Maria P. around the African rhythms from Zambia.

Let us also celebrate the legacy of the mythical Ama Romanta, a publisher created in 1986 by João Peste. On May 9th, the stage of Casa Independente will give space to the musical choices of Pop Dell’Arte’s main singer side by side with Zé Pedro Moura (Pop Dell’Arte; Dead Hand); Paulo Monteiro (Pop Dell’Arte); Luis San Payo (Croix Sainte; Pop Dell’Arte); Sei Miguel; Fala Mariam and Rodrigo Amado.

To close the sixteenth edition of IndieLisboa, on Saturday May 11th, we return to Culturgest’s Garage, for a party that brings Brazil to the center of the Portuguese capital. The entrance is free.

The rest of the IndiebyNight program can be seen below.

NARIZ ENTUPIDO PRESENTS: PARALLEL PLANES
3 FRIDAY, 23:00, CASA INDEPENDENTE, 5€
Related film: Parallel Planes, by Nicole Wegner

Once again we invite Nariz Entupido to work on one of the IndieMusic films. After Tony Conrad Completely in the Present (2017) and Milford Graves Full Mantis (2018), this year Nariz Entupido decided to invite António Caramelo (artist) to develop an exercise around Parallel Planes by Nicole Wegner. The matter for this year’s edition is not exclusive to one author but many. Questions about authorship, the existence of structures of autonomous productions and their respective sustainability, the act as an affirmative gesture, a will to transform. Parallel planes in different parts of the globe. Different sources, similar anxieties, incessant searches.
