Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app) the radio where my Amazing Songs & Other Delights airs every other Monday turns 3 years old Monday 27th. We’re celebrating at Praia da Luz, in Porto, 7-11pm with DJ sets by Francisco Coelho, Francisco Esp, João Bruschy, José Amen, Maria Gambina, Pedro Tenreiro, Rui Pimenta and Tugalife.
Yé Yé came to be May 27th to signal one year of the departure of our friend Vicente Pinto de Abreu. Vicente was a music, books, film, tv shows, comics lover. Praia da Luz a place he liked and identified with. A place where he and the djs collective he was part of, 7 Magníficos – of which Pedro Tenreiro and Rui Pimenta were also part of – spinned records many times.
I still remember the day of Vicente’s death. The night before, as we often did, we had been talking about films, tv shows, comics. I both were meant to watch and read something to discuss with each other the following evening. There was no following eve.
We are celebration Vicente, Yé Yé, radio, music, life, the joy of life and living, the seaside. Come celebrate with us.
