Casa da Música filled on a Wednesday night to listen to British sitar player Anoushka Shankar (Ravi Shankar’s daughter).Anoushka steps on stage alone, under a single light, and plays Offering, like a gift to those in attendance. Meanwhile the backs comes in Sarathy Korwar (drums), Pirashanna Thevarajah (percussion), Tom Farmer (double bass), Arun Ghosh (clarinet).
The performance was centered around music Anoushka has been working on that will be released in instalments – intended to capture moments and emotions – and previously released tracks.
A rhythm crescendo was noticed during the performance with a solo by Arun Ghosh (clarinet) getting an ovation from the audience. A Ravi Shankar theme that Anoushka has been working on throughout the years was played, and the concert ended with Reunion. Anoushka will return alone to play a final track, Sleeping Flowers.

Jesus the Snake | All Them Witches, Hard Club, Porto, 24.06.2024.
words: Marcos Leal (freely translated by Raquel Pinheiro); photos: Telma Mota
Jesus the Snake, a band from Vizela, ofereced a serene and contemplative cradle with their spacial pinkfloydesque melodies. Only the dense riffs of the last track broke the immersive state and awoke the audience for what was to follow.
When All Them Witches turn arrived the change of atmosphere in the room was palpable. The audience in constant uproar and ecstasy, at times contrasting with the here and there immersive melodies of the band. However, they also own beating riffs. All Them Witches manage to transport the listener to a road movie in which we travel through prairies, and the typical dinners and motels of American landscapes.
The band played a setlist that reviewed several of their tracks such as the opener See You Next Fall, When God Comes Back, Alabaster, The Marriage of Coyote Woman and after effusive aplaus, on the encore, Bulls.In short, it was a happy return over here and a great welcome for All Them Witches.
