Marca Branca #3 – Alexandre Bateiras – Canções da Lua Nova

Please make notice to the fact that you‘re not listening to music only, you‘re listening to the stories that were left behind on Alentejo‘s plain (South of Portugal). Most of the songs names are real places names. And those that are not still have something important to remind us. For instance, “Tributo” is as tribute to a soldier who died during the portuguese colonial war back in the 60‘s. Alexandre Bateiras was there, whitnessed the moment and was able to show us what happened with a few chords.

* Since 2008, Programa Marca Branca has been the only regular portuguese radio show exclusively dedicated to netaudio and free culture, with weekly podcasts and features on this digital universe.
