"A Residence" reaches the final of an international festival in Prague

Região de Leiria10 September 2026 at 10:30

The musical project "A Residence" reached the final of an international festival in Prague. This was the first time a Portuguese production reached this phase of the competition.

The project was submitted by RTP, the Portuguese public radio and television, and featured the participation of Salvador Sobral, known for having won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2017, and the band First Breath After Coma.

The creation arose from a challenge issued by Casa Varela, located in Pombal, which Salvador Sobral and First Breath After Coma decided to accept. The collaboration resulted in this project that now represents Portugal in the international competition.

"To have more women in concertinas, there need to be fewer men who think they're the greatest"

Margarida Pereira, a 15-year-old from Vieira do Minho, participated for the first time in the concertina parade at the Feiras Novas in Ponte de Lima, being one of the few women among hundreds of players. In an interview, she said the field remains dominated by men and left a provocation: to have more women in the instrument, there need to be fewer men who think they're the greatest. The young woman started playing about three years ago, inspired by her uncle, and now practices about an hour and a half a day, saying that playing concertina is the only thing she really likes to do. Margarida said that seeing so many young people her age playing is a sign that traditions are valued and won't be lost easily.
