about

José Afonso is the greatest Portuguese singer-songwriter.
Known around the world for his light and traditional compositions, but at the same time of tremendous complexity, his songs are strongly linked to protest music and the Portuguese Carnation Revolution of 25th of April 1974.

But what if without the weight of his message, his songs could be heard with another sense?

That was the starting point for ZECA VAI À PRAIA, a work with all the aesthetics of Balearic music. If we remove Zeca’s voice and the political message - and extend the songs -, the music is perfect for a sunset in an "off-season" Ibiza, proving, once again, Zeca's genius.
Alberto Vieira dug into the music of Zeca Afonso with no connotations or dictatorships involved, and took his music to a place where it has never been.

José Afonso é sem dúvida o maior Cantautor Português.
Conhecido no mundo pelas suas composições leves, simples, mas ao mesmo tempo de uma complexidade tremenda, as suas canções estão fortemente ligadas à música de intervenção e ao 25 de Abril.

E se sem o peso da sua mensagem, os seus temas pudessem ser ouvidos com outro sentido?

Foi esse o ponto de partida. Zeca vai à praia é uma brincadeira com toda a estética e ideia de música baleárica. Se tirarmos as vozes e a mensagem política - e prolongarmos as canções -, os temas ficam perfeitos para acompanhar o pôr do sol numa Ibiza em “off-season”, provando, mais uma vez, o génio de Zeca. Resta-nos hoje interpretar a obra de Zeca Afonso, sem conotações nem ditaduras forçadas, e levar a sua música a um lugar onde nunca esteve.
