Celtic
music has been a key part of the traditional music scene of Portugal. With
particular importance in the northern part of the country, Celtic music is a
part of discourses of traditional identities that date back to pre-Roman times
when proto-Celtic tribes inhabited these parts of the Iberian peninsula with
contemporary Celtic music in Portugal embedded in
recent socio-cultural phenomena around inter-regional relations between
northern Portugal and Galiza, and Portugal's place in the European Union.
MPLC #7 Celtic Music in Portugal examines some of these themes with two of Portugal's top folk music artists, Luis Peixoto and Sebastião Antunes, who have run a long-standing weekly Celtic music night on Monday's at Lisbon's first Irish bar, O'Gilins.
Cantautor Sebastião Antunes has been a mainstay on the Portuguese folk music scene for decades, including both solo work as well as the front of the renowned Portuguese band Quadrilha, http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilha_(banda) having recorded multiple albums and performed on just about every stage and public venue in Portugal. As an energetic advocate of traditional music, and a music scholar (with a degree from the FCHS nova) Sebastião Antunes also offers workshops and classes in various forms of Portuguese instrumentation (including the Adufe, a percussion instrument) and Portuguese traditional music styles.
Luis Peixoto is one of the top Portuguese mandolim players working in music today, having recorded, collaborated on and been included on over 30 albums produced by a range of important Portuguese, Spanish and European acts. He is a founder of the seminal Portuguese trad-rock band Dazkarieh, and has toured and recorded with the Anxo Lorenzo band as well as with Sebastião Antunes e Quadrilha. The founder of the Celtic music night at Gilins, Peixoto has been instrumental in the development and dissemination of Celtic and Traditional music in Portugal.
Prior to their normal Monday night session, Peixoto, Antunes and other members of the Celtic music night at Gilins will discuss the music and its important place in contemporary Portugal.
