In the name of the purely Minho tradition of sharing — through conversation, gastronomy and music — Clube Raiz invites everyone to the last Roda da Tradição (Tradition Circle) of the Portuguese Capital of Culture.
The event kicks off in the early afternoon and is followed by a round table discussion moderated by Armando Sousa on the musical connections between Minho and Galicia, based on the vocal and instrumental practices of both sides of the Minho River. The conversation explores the affinities, differences and mutual influences that shape the musical heritage of these neighbouring regions. Later, chef Rui Lemos invites everyone to the table for a leisurely and informal tasting of snacks. The Braga Traditional String Instrument Orchestra closes this gathering in style with a performance in the late afternoon.
