After a fasting tour of the sun, Salgado’s party returned for its 9th edition at Maus HΓ‘bitos. As usual in previous editions the line-up presented an appealing variety of musical proposals, making for choices between the concerts that took place on the three stages of a sold out venue. As usual, the people turned out in droves, filling the night with a friendly atmosphere, tinged with reunions and …beer. The highlight goes to 10000 Russos, a band from Porto that opened the evening, with themes from their latest album Superiertia (2021) in a renewed psychedelic incursion, dense and rich in sound textures and healthy evocations. On the Stockahusen stage, the most breathable, the GΓ£rgoola were a good surprise, in a shamanic performance that left a taste for more. Salgado Stage crowded, suffocating. In the background, Samuel Úria (Um Gajo Com PΓ©s De Roque Enrole) emerged from the human barrier that prevented progression, and the chords of a well-behaved punk set the audience on fire. Stage change. Inescapable for lovers of full-bodied rock with contagious psychedelia, Gator The Alligator electrified the Super Rock Stage before another good surprise, the creative and irreverent performance of Unsafe Space Garden. Return to Stockhausen stage for O Manipulador, where Manuel Molarinho orchestrated the pedal mattress that unfold and transfigured, with creative singularity, a well-manipulated bass guitar. With Salgado Stage overflowing with Pluto (Manuel Cruz and Peixe), Super Bock stage was an alternative for a dip in emotions unconfined by the punk energy of Galician Kings Of The Beach, closing the set of performances which program had to undergo some readjustments due to circumstances. A note of recognition is required for Maus HΓ‘bitos’ workers, for their professionalism and friendliness, on a laborious and particularly demanding night. Happy birthday to Salgado.

Depois de uma volta ao sol de jejum, a festa do Salgado regressou para a sua 9.Βͺ ediΓ§Γ£o nos Maus HΓ‘bitos. O programa, como tem sido usual nas ediΓ§Γ΅es anteriores, apresentou uma variedade apelativa de propostas musicais, obrigando a escolhas entre os concertos que se desenrolaram nos trΓͺs palcos de uma casa esgotada dias atrΓ‘s. Como tem sido hΓ‘bito, o pΓΊblico acorreu em peso, tingindo a noite com um ambiente simpΓ‘tico, tingido de reencontros e…cerveja. Destaque para os portuenses 10000 russos com temas do seu ΓΊltimo Γ‘lbum, Superiertia (2021), numa incursΓ£o psicadΓ©lica renovada, densa e rica de texturas sonoras e saudΓ‘veis evocaΓ§Γ΅es a abrir a noite. No palco Stockahusen, o mais respirΓ‘vel, os GΓ£rgoola constituΓ­ram uma boa surpresa, numa performance xamΓ’nica que soube a pouco. O Palco Salgado apinhado, sufocante. Ao fundo, Samuel Úria (Um Gajo Com PΓ©s De Roque Enrole) emergiu da barreira humana que impedia a progressΓ£o e os acordes de um punk bem comportando incendiou o pΓΊblico. MudanΓ§a de palco. IncontornΓ‘veis para os apreciadores de um rock encorpado de psicadelismo contagiante, os Gator The Alligator eletrificaram o Palco Super Rock antes de mais outra boa surpresa, com a atuaΓ§Γ£o criativa e irreverente dos Unsafe Space Garden. Retornou-se ao palco Stockhausen para O Manipulador, onde Manuel Molarinho orquestrou o tapete de pedais que desmultiplicaram e transfiguraram, com singularidade criativa, um baixo bem manipulado. Com o Palco Salgado a transbordar com Pluto (Manuel Cruz e Peixe), o palco Super Bock foi alternativa para um mergulho nas emoΓ§Γ΅es desconfinadas pela energia punk dos galegos Kings Of The Beach, fechando o pΓ©riplo de atuaΓ§Γ΅es cujo programa teve que sofrer alguns reajustes por forΓ§a das circunstΓ’ncias. ImpΓ΅e-se uma nota de reconhecimento para os trabalhadores dos Maus HΓ‘bitos, pelo profissionalismo e simpatia, numa noite laboriosa e particularmente exigente. ParabΓ©ns ao Salgado.
