About this user

The diatonic accordion (named as 'concertina' in Portugal) is an instrument created in the first half of XIX century, later worked to perfection, by several European instrument makers and today it echoes memories coming from a different musical ambience: a time before the record and the radio inventios. But it continues being a 'dream machine' ready to invent possible futures and making senses.

Artur Fernandes, Filipe Cal, Filipe Ricardo and Francisco Miguel had a dream to look for and worked their musical performance skills
meanwhile they studied the possibilities of taking this instrument away from folklore music ways, accepting what then was known as " the concertina will", but writing a new music for it. This was the time that led the band to its name and to its first record, Dancas Ocultas, with a reportory on which predominate Artur Fernandes compositions.

After that, came a adventuring time, less ingenuous and more artistic, resulting from the continuous contacts with other performers, from experiences on stage, from the first travels and partnerships, motivating the change of the group into a sharing creativity nucleus and leading to the recording of " Ar" the second record which affirms the beginning of a self musical grammar and shows some technical
innovations like the use of a specially built "bass concertina".

Since then the band has been experiencing the links between that musical grammar and a more universal and trans-cultural view of the
musical phenomenon as well as the contemporaneous cultural ways.
This concept allowed the band to often perform within scenic arts, namely in Paulo Ribeiro choreographies for which the band composed original music , as well as the repertoire of Pulsar, its third record. Sound, rhythm and harmony between the past and the future, making sense, in a dialog with contemporary aesthetic.
