«The idea of this concert is to present the work that the guitarist Bernardo Saldanha and I have been busy producing throughout almost the whole of the lockdown. I wish to leave my own personal contribution to the repertoire of Lisbon guitar playing, with the sole aim of its one day being performed by the city’s guitarists and thus becoming part of this musical heritage that I belong to.

The greatest challenge presented by this project of ten guitar pieces was always to compose something that fitted in with the Lisbon fado “language” but which, at the same time, had its own distinctive stamp. Only time and the audience will prove whether this aim has been successfully achieved.» – Bernardo Couto
