Porto Covo

Momi Maiga (Senegal)

Porto Covo - Largo Marquês de Pombal | 21h00 | Free admission

Originally from Casamance, Momi Maiga belongs to one of the most renowned griot families, the Cissokhos. A kora player, singer and composer, he grew up immersed in the musical traditions of West Africa, particularly the Mandinka tradition, which he now represents by blending it with influences from jazz, classical music and the flamenco of Spain, the country where he settled. On the strings of a kora he has played since the age of six, he has already collaborated with major artists from different genres and nationalities. In Porto Covo, we will hear repertoire from his album “Kairos” (2024), where he reflects on themes such as colonial legacies, forced migration and the importance of education for Africa’s development.

The Legendary Tigerman (Portugal)

Porto Covo - Largo Marquês de Pombal | 22h30 | Free admission

Calling him legendary is no exaggeration. In 2001, with the release of the album “Naked Blues”, musician and composer Paulo Furtado introduced the world to what would become one of the cult projects of Portuguese music in this century. Then came “Femina” (2009), “True” (2014), “Misfit” (2018) and “Zeitgeist” (2023), each reinforcing the weight of his name within Europe’s most creative rock scene. The Legendary Tigerman is rock, garage rock and blues in constant reinvention, always retaining a punk streak and steering clear of clichés. In this FMM debut, Paulo Furtado’s voice and guitar will be joined by Mike on drums and Sara Badalo on vocals and synthesizers. Porto Covo closes at full throttle.
