Here is the (almost full) program of this year’s IndieMusic, the section that is entirely dedicated to music within the IndieLisboa programming. We invite everyone to immerse themselves in the moving images of this year’s films in the teaser<\/strong> below\u00a0and embrace the section’s songs and artists in our playlist.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It is a strong year for Portuguese music. Ela \u00e9 uma M\u00fasica<\/strong><\/em> is a journey through the world of rock in Portugal, through the voices of its illustrious unknown women. We explore the suburbs of Lisbon in which there’s a series of musicians and producers from different generations and origins. Batida de Lisboa\u00a0<\/i><\/strong>goes from Angola to S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9, passing through Cape Verde and Guine Bissau. The trip ends in Alvalade, the neighborhood of Um Punk Chamado Ribas<\/strong><\/em>, one of the most important names in Portuguese music and one of the main drivers of the punk movement.<\/p>\n

Also in Portuguese and in a very special screening, the return of Rollana Beat<\/strong>. The band invited 13 directors, including some of our festival’s familiar faces such as Edgar P\u00eara, Isabel Aboim Ingl\u00eas or Leonor Noivo, to create videos for 13 songs made between 1998-2002.<\/p>\n

From the rest of the world comes the folk of Karen Dalton (T<\/strong>he Bright Light – Karen and the Process<\/strong><\/em>), the free jazz of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Sun Ra (Fire Music<\/strong><\/em>), the coolness of Miles Davis (Birth of the Cool<\/strong><\/em>), the DIY music from bands such as Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu or Fugazi (Parallel Plans<\/strong><\/em>), the return of legendary rock band from Zambia, WITCH, with the help of Jacco Gardner (We Intend to Cause Havoc<\/strong><\/em>) and the indescribable energy of the Swans (Where Does a Body End?<\/strong>).<\/em><\/p>\n

The jury of IndieMusic’s competitive section, which awards a prize of 1000\u20ac for its best film, is composed of musician Bruno Pernadas, journalist and music publisher Isilda Sanches and music critic and illustrator Tiago da Bernarda (aka O Gato Mariano).<\/p>\n

To ready our bodies for music, we will be celebrating the release of IndieMusic’s programming with an IndieLisboa warm-up party<\/strong><\/a> at Casa Independente next Saturday, March 9,<\/strong><\/a> with the songs of all these bands and artists.<\/p>\n
