Until the end of the month, you can still take part in the Open Call for the Square – Mapping the Atlantic project. Submit your proposal here by 31 July. The results will be announced in September.
Square is a project coordinated by the Porto label and promoter Lovers & Lollypops, which is part of the Braga 25 programme. The call is looking for artists who work and live on the three continents bordering the Atlantic. Proposals will be accepted in any musical genre, with any type of formation in terms of number of people and with music produced in any language.
This is a festival that connects bands, professionals and audiences through a programming model that will combine a convention, a cycle of showcases and clubbing proposals, linking those who make with those who see, those who create with those who programme, those who think with those who implement. The event will take place between 29 January and 1 February 2025 in the cities of Braga, Barcelos, Famalicão and Guimarães. It is a meeting and celebration of the talent that lives and works on the margins. Based on the connection between the continents bathed by the Atlantic (Africa, America and Europe), Square celebrates diversity by creating a meeting place for emerging talent and new trends in music from these territories.
