Quartoquarto (PT)
Look at the verses. Take the pen. Listen. Drop the pen. Look at the verses. Fill in the blank that asks for ink. Each empty filled by who wants to fill it. Empty that is mine and of who wants to have it too. Words that try to call things the way they should be called. Sons, who give themselves for what they are and not for what they were or can be. Whose quartoquarto is it anyway?
Madrepaz (PT)
Many legends tell the story of Dragonfly, which was once Dragon. Dragon had scales as the wings of Dragonfly, possessed great wisdom and filled the night with light with its fearsome breath. It was the most magical beast and its greatest power was the great art of illusion, or shapeshifting. One day, the wily Coyote convinced Dragon to change shape. By accepting the challenge to prove its power and prowess, the Dragon was trapped in the body of Dragonfly in a place we call reality. Today, with its movement and its colors, the Dragonfly reminds us of a time and a place where magic reigned. Madrepaz is a band from Portugal, inspired by Pop and this magic.
