Panda Bear and Sonic Boom landed in Porto to present their album Reset in what could be described as an electro pop concert. At the show, someone told me, it is not electro pop, it is psychedelic pop. Psychedelia was indeed present, in the sound and visuals. What I meant, and mean, by electro pop regarding this concert is not the usual meaning, rather that there is an electronic basis completed and complemented with pop landscapes, namely the vocal harmonies.
Their brand of electro popishness reaches its peak with the very, or extremely, Beach Boys like Edge of The Edge, a fine danceable, upbeat song. The clapping and percussions instruments used by both musicians also help giving a more organic, analogue vibe to electronic based music.
As for sonic forays, Sonic Boom as sonic on his name for a reason and Panda Bear is no strange to it. The encore closing was a perfect example of it. The aforementioned visuals, by Studio Sparks, perfectly captured the musical, vocal and sonic ambient of the songs and live performance.

I ventured to Rodigro Netoâs concert and recital Merda em Flor e outras Fogueiras not knowing what I was going to be met with.t paid off. A quiet, intimate, late aferternoon acoustic guitar concert, with very short stories between instrumentals told by Rodrigo. The words losely remind of our folklore as well as our mediaval CançÃĩes de Amigo. Total silence, a dark room and the audience seated very close to the artist, including on the floor. The concert and recital were the closing of Da EscuridÃŖo e da Luz an exhibition by Ana Torrie and Samuel Ornelas.
