Introduction
In “Unindo os Povos Através da Música”, Mário Moita starts from fado and Portuguese popular tradition to seek meeting points with salsa, forró and bolero. Portuguese identity remains the reference point, while making room for other ways to feel rhythm and interpret song. The title expresses an artistic intention: bringing cultures closer through listening and musical experience. For theatres, festivals and municipal programmes, the concept can suit programming devoted to cultural dialogue. The proposition invites recognition of the familiar and discovery of how its colour changes when it encounters other musical languages.
Career
Presented in 2026, “Unindo os Povos Através da Música” forms part of Mário Moita’s work connecting Portuguese song with other repertoires. Fado and traditional music provide the starting point; salsa, forró and bolero add different rhythmic references to the concept. This meeting, rather than a single musical origin, organises the proposition. For programmers, it can offer a way to address heritage and cultural exchange within the same concert. The programme and line-up are defined for each presentation, making it possible to clarify the repertoires and participants in the proposed version.
