21 July - Tuesday

Sines

Mariaa Siga (Senegal)

Sines - Pátio das Artes | 16h00 | Free admission

A voice, a guitar and a smile. In the background, Casamance, a region proud of its culture and historically connected to Portugal. A new Senegalese singer-songwriter making her way across the world’s stages. In Mariaa Siga’s music one hears Diola rhythms, but also blues, folk, jazz and reggae. Acoustic or electric, the sound of her guitar leaves no doubt: we are in West Africa. She has already won awards in France, Côte d’Ivoire and South Korea, but also in her native Casamance, where in 2025 she was named Best Female Artist of the Year and Best Live Performance. A promising sign for her debut in Sines.

One Rusty Band (France)

Sines - Largo Poeta Bocage | 18h00 | Free admission

An unusual combination: rock energy and burlesque spirit. An unbreakable bond between two artists, Lea Barbier and Greg Garghentini. The resilience of performers who make the street their stage. Tireless travellers, they have already played more than 500 concerts in their native France, across Europe and in India. Their most recent album, “Line After Line” (2025), tells some of their stories from the road and some of the encounters they have had along the way. The rawness of the blues, a voice and electric guitar carrying the rasp of rock, an assortment of percussion, a washboard that is almost a suit of armour, plenty of tap dancing, small acrobatics. Live, we promise, it all makes sense.

RESSOA - Ecos do Mundo (Portugal / World)

Sines - Auditório do Centro de Artes de Sines | 21h30 | Buy ticket

Artists from different parts of the world come together in Portugal to share their journeys and encounters. The result of a co-creation process that unfolded along the railway line between Lisbon and Fundão throughout 2025, RESSOA - Ecos do Mundo is a concert celebrating dialogue between cultures, bringing together sounds, memories and stories of migration. It gathers 12 artists from Argentina, Brazil, Guinea-Bissau, Peru, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Russia and Turkey. Artistic direction is by Aixa Figini and musical direction by Filipe Sousa. Matilde Real is the keeper of the Word. Micaela Gomes produces. Premiered on a train journey, it now arrives at our great harbour of music.
