On the second day, Juraj DuFek will perform at the Palheta Bendita, who, directly from Slovakia, brings to Santo Tirso the "famous exhibition of instrument makers and the mastery of the traditional bagpipes of his country", followed by the memories of the contemporary Portuguese, to the sound of Retimbrar, and the Fanfara Station, a group that brings together elements from Tunisia, the USA and Italy and that will take the audience "on a sound journey" through African percussion, Latin brass, Middle Eastern winds, electronic music and jazz.
On the last day, June 16th, the musical group Colmeia takes to the stage, which promises a unique repertoire where the traditional songs that inhabit the imagination "gain a new guise" and, to close the event, CRASSH_DuoCircus, which associates with the Cooperativa de Apoio à Integração do Deficiente (CAID) in a recent project in Santo Tirso that aims to include the disabled in social and cultural life.
