It was at the iconic Caf\u00e9 Calcinha that another presentation of the 19th MED Festival took place. In a kind of get-together \u2013 or if this were not a space with that vocation \u2013, the organization announced the other cultural aspects of the program in addition to music and the partnerships with local associations. There was also a musical moment, starring one of the names already confirmed on the poster, Jean Christian et le Quator des R\u00eave Enfouis (Canada\/Portugal).<\/p>\n

\u201cMED lives a lot from its international projection, but as a public entity that organizes this festival, Loul\u00e9 City Council has the responsibility of promoting what is done locally and the excellence of local production in artistic terms, Music, Theatre, Literature, Cinema, among other areas\u201d, highlighted the councilor and director of the Festival, Carlos Carmo.<\/p>\n

\"Multim\u00e9dia0\"<\/p>\n

Calcinha is once again part of the MED program, after a year behind closed doors. The image of the poet Ant\u00f3nio Aleixo that can be found at the door of this \u201cCaf\u00e9 with History\u201d will certainly inspire singer-songwriter Afonso Dias who, on the 29th and 30th of June and 1st of July, will be the resident artist. Each night, he will star in two moments of around 40 minutes (at 8pm and 10pm), with different themes and \u201cmusical beacons\u201d ranging from Carlos do Carmo\u2019s fado to timeless Francophone songs such as Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour, by Zeca Afonso and Ary dos Santos takes a foray into traditional Portuguese music. Musical proposals that may be accompanied by the gastronomic suggestions that Calcinha will prepare for MED.<\/p>\n

Literature is already a classic of this festival and, in 2023, it returns to the Atl\u00e9tico building, headquarters of the Casa da Cultura de Loul\u00e9, which will continue to be a space for sharing and promoting words, books and poetry. In partnership with Casa da Cultura de Loul\u00e9, this is an inclusive initiative where guests say\/read poetry in their mother tongues. The curatorship will be in charge of Jo\u00e3o Pedro Cali\u00e7o \u201cT\u00e1p\u00ea\u201d who will invite friends of different nationalities to bring Literature from their countries, thus contributing to the multicultural richness of the event.<\/p>\n

In the Cloisters of the Convento do Esp\u00edrito Santo, MED Jazz brings jazz sounds once again, in a space promoted by M\u00e1kina de Cena, after the success of the last edition. Miguel Martins Kaleidoscope, FUSHI and Leon Baldesberger's Meersalz will provide music to the public that passes by and will have the opportunity to enjoy good concerts and the rich heritage of the place.<\/p>\n

The result of a partnership between M\u00e1kina de Cena, Casa da Cultura de Loul\u00e9 and Festival MED, on Open Day, July 2nd, PLINT \u2013 Pablo Lapidusas International Trio takes the stage for a concert as part of the presentation of the Loul\u00e9 Jazz'23 Festival poster, organized by the Casa da Cultura de Loul\u00e9.<\/p>\n

On July 1st, the president of APORFEST \u2013 Portuguese Association of Music Festivals, Ricardo Bram\u00e3o, will moderate the conference \u201cThe importance of music festivals for cultural promotion\u201d. The guest panel will be announced soon and this initiative will once again take place at Casa do Meio Dia, headquarters of Sul, Sol e Sal, another local partner associated with the festival.<\/p>\n

Last year, the challenge launched to the Loul\u00e9 Design Lab incubators brought creativity and sustainability to the decoration of spaces, such as the Hammam Stage or the MED Cinema. This year, the ideas that were born from the Infinity Movement are once again applied in the venue, through pieces created and produced in a circular economy concept, which is based not only on prevention, reduction and reuse, but also on the recovery of materials, producing useful objects from waste. For example, the tarpaulins used to promote the MED will now have a new use: they will be comfortable beanbags for the public to rest on.<\/p>\n

Cinema constituted \u201ca value that has had a growing projection\u201d, thanks to the role of programmer\/curator Rui Tendinha and the dynamism of the Loul\u00e9 Film Office. This year, Cinema MED takes place in a new space, on Rua Vice-Almirante C\u00e2ndido dos Reis, and will, once again, be based on a combination of music and films. But \u201cthe big highlight will be at Cineteatro Louletano\u201d, on \u201cOpen Day\u201d (July 2nd), at 5pm, with the presentation of \u201cA Viagem do Rei\u201d, by Roger Mor and Jo\u00e3o Pedro Moreira.\u00a0A trip<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0by the poet and provocateur Rui Reininho, the unmistakable musician who will perform a showcase after the screening of the film.<\/p>\n

MED Classic returns to its headquarters, the Igreja Matriz, a space now renovated and ready to host classical music concerts that are so popular with those who visit the MED Festival. S\u00e9rgio Leite, director of the Loul\u00e9 Music Conservatory \u2013 Professor Francisco Rosado, is responsible for the program that will feature the groups Duo Guirimbadu, Caminus Duo and Quintetango. On free entry day, the protagonists are the Conservatory students, gathered in an orchestra with choir. The concerts are scheduled for 7:30 pm, shortly after the venue doors open.<\/p>\n

The focus on diversity and the integration of new nationalities includes not only the more than 100 craft stalls spread across the venue but also the gastronomic component. \u201cWe increasingly want to attract new cultures to our festival, particularly in these two areas\u201d, highlighted director Carlos Carmo.<\/p>\n

The plastic arts will also be represented and the exhibition open to the public at the Art Gallery of Convento Esp\u00edrito Santo, \u201cCorpos Celestes\u201d, by Adriana Jo\u00e3o, Bruno Silva, Joana da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o and Jos\u00e9 Jesus, curated by David Rev\u00e9s, is yet another proposal in this multidisciplinary dimension that MED embraces.<\/p>\n

Rhakatta, Satori and Al-Fanfarre are three of the local partners that participate in street arts, with moments of animation and the presence of dozens of entertainers in constant interaction with the public, in every nook and cranny of the Historic Zone of Loul\u00e9, One of the What's new is the new partnership with the house of Latin America that will allow us to bring street entertainment starring groups from this geographic space. Alentejo singing and Algarve folklore are other ethnographic manifestations that will be present at this meeting of cultures.<\/p>\n

For the youngest, MED Kids opens its doors again in the space next to the Main Church. While parents enjoy the Festival, children will also be able to have fun in a lively environment and participate in a program of activities promoted by educational services and monitored by monitors from the Loul\u00e9 Municipal Library.<\/p>\n

The Open Day will be on Sunday, July 2nd, and despite the absence of concerts (only the performance of students from the Conservatory, at the Main Church, and the PLINT concert, as part of the Loul\u00e9 Jazz presentation, are planned, in the Cloisters of the Convent), the public will be able to enjoy other entertainment, gastronomy and crafts.<\/p>\n

4 days, 90 hours of music, 55 concerts, more than 300 musicians, 17 nationalities represented and 12 stages (4 main stages, 2 small stages and other spaces) will make up the 19th edition of the MED Festival, as its director said.<\/p>\n

Tickets are on pre-sale, with reduced prices, until June 25th: Daily Ticket \u2013 \u20ac10.00; Festival Ticket (pass for the 3 days of the Festival) \u2013 \u20ac30.00; Daily Family Ticket (2 adults and 2 children up to 16 years old) \u2013 \u20ac35.00.<\/p>\n

Remember that this year the MED Festival won two more prizes at the Iberian Festival Awards: Best Tourist Promotion in the Iberian Peninsula and Best Lusophone and Hispanic Festival in the Iberian Peninsula. These distinctions, which contribute so much to the event's notoriety, are also another reason for foreign audiences to choose the Algarve as a tourist destination at this time of year.<\/p>\n

Starting today, the new MED Festival website is online (https:\/\/festivalmed.cm-loule.pt<\/a>), \u201ccompletely renovated, developed, programmed and updated by employees of Loul\u00e9 City Council\u201d, where it is possible to provide all information.<\/p>\n

Carlos Carmo announced the last moment of communication for the 19th MED Festival: it will be on June 2nd, at 9pm, at Cineteatro Louletano, with the presentation of the complete program. Guinean Eneida Marta&Huca takes the stage for a concert, being immediately confirmed on the poster for the 20th MED Festival, which will take place in 2024.<\/p>\n
