Cape Verdean singer Tito Paris will perform with Macao Chinese Orchestra in a concert that will be held at the Macao Cultural Centre’s (CCM) Grand Auditorium on 15 November.
The concert is part of the ongoing “6th Encounter in Macao: Arts and Cultural Festival between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries”.
Born into a musical family, Paris has successfully integrated three traditional Cape Verdean music styles – mornas, funanás and coladeiras – into jazz, rock, salsa and flamenco, while retaining performances in Cape Verdean Creole.
His music albums are sold worldwide, and he is regarded as an ambassador for promoting Cape Verdean music. In addition, he has been awarded a medal by the President of Portugal for achieving remarkable success in his over 40-year music career.
In his upcoming Macau concert, he will be joined by Macao Chinese Orchestra Music Director and Principal Conductor Zhang Lie. The concert will blend different Chinese and Western musical styles, showcasing the harmonious fusion of Sino-Portuguese culture to music lovers, according to a press release by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC).
Tickets are priced at MOP 200-400 and available through the Macau Ticketing Network.
Meanwhile, the 6th Encounter in Macao: Arts and Cultural Festival between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries is organised by IC under the guidance of the Macau Government’s Secretariat for Social Affairs and Culture, with the support from the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM), TDM and Air Macau.
