ZENergia – Expressoriente Duo

Saturday, October 12th, 6pm.

In ZENergia the challenge is to have Japanese influences in music but never denying the Portuguese cultural background and to gather European music with echoes of oriental aesthetics, with works from Toru Takemitsu, Rui Dias and Kazuo Fukushima. Guitarist Carlos Lima and flautist Gil Magalhães created the Expressoriente Duo in 2006 to explore unusual sounds. With several presentations already with both original works and transcriptions and arrangements with different musical forms this duo is interested in searching sounds that synthesize Eastern and Western traditions.
