Terra Livre | Concert

September, 2024

“Terra Livre” is the exploratory album/territory of the two adventurous musicians João Morais (better known as O GAJO) and Ricardo Vignini. Portugal and Brazil in close affinity and two cultures in one voice.

On stage, the violas bring all their cultural baggage, their characteristic sound and a unique and original repertoire. The result of a musical empathy that has become an innovative friendship, capable of crossing borders and oceans.

The transatlantic meeting of the two musicians took place in 2022 via social media. A musical rapport triggered a first contact with Vignini’s participation in GAJO’s album “Não Lugar” (2023), which quickly turned into a regular exchange of ideas and the desire to cross the two artistic and cultural worlds that characterize these players. The result was “Terra Livre”.

In Brazil, Ricardo Vignini, who has had a solo career for 20 years, takes his Viola Caipira on great journeys from traditional references to more personalized and contemporary approaches. In Portugal, O GAJO follows a similar path, taking his traditional Viola Campaniça into more urban and contemporary artistic territories, inspired by his rock music career of over 25 years.
