Two of the fundamental names of jazz in Portugal, Maria João and Carlos Bica, bring to Monserrate the concert that testifies to the friendship and musical complicity that unites them and that began in the 1980s, being recorded on two discs: “Conversa” (1986) and “Sol” (1991). Accompanied by João Farinha (piano and keyboards) and Gonçalo Neto (guitar), it promises to be a concert of emotions, a space for songs that belong to the world, theirs and ours.
