THE SHOW

A JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF LUSOPHONE CULTURES

FESTA LUSA is a meeting between several cultures sharing the same language: Portuguese.

Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, and Lusophone Africa come together on stage in a generous, popular, and deeply musical show.

Born from the encounter between David Vasco Nelito and Roberto De Oliveira, the project offers a repertoire that crosses borders and generations.

From popular Portuguese music to Brazilian rhythms, from Cape Verdean sounds to Afro-Lusophone influences, FESTA LUSA showcases the full richness of a cultural universe often reduced to a few clichés.
