SOPA DE PEDRA – AO LONGE

Sopa de Pedra is a musical research group comprising 10 women. Through polyphonic arrangements of traditional Portuguese music, performed a capella, they explore the richness of traditional legacy by bringing it into the context of today's world music.

As in the popular tale that gives them their name, Sopa de Pedra offers different formats. Their repertoire includes music of oral transmission - from mirandese chants from Trás-os-Montes, Azorean ballads, adufeiras songs from Beira Baixa to Alentejo cante (Alenjejo chanting) to the repertoire of Zeca Afonso, Amélia Muge, João Lóio, Almanaque and GAC.
