General D
It was 30 years ago that a rapper released a single in Portugal for the first time. His name was General D, and he became known to many as the father of Portuguese hip hop. Thirty years after the release of “Pé na Tchôn, Karapinha na Céu”, General D is back on the national stage for a series of unique concerts! In keeping with his musical style, the concert brings us eight musicians on stage in a performance of the most memorable songs from the early days of Portuguese hip hop culture.

The Maia Forum, designed by renowned architect José Carlos Loureiro, was inaugurated on 1 June 1991. Located in the heart of the city of Maia and designed from the outset as a space for cultural enjoyment for all, the Maia Forum includes an outdoor auditorium with a capacity for around 300 people. This space offers high-quality acoustic and logistical conditions, allowing for the presentation of leading artistic performances. The Lidador Tower, built 101 metres above sea level and measuring 92 metres from base to top, is currently the 5th tallest building in Portugal and the tallest outside Lisbon. It is visible from any of the ten parishes in the municipality, as well as from neighbouring municipalities. It represents a geographical landmark, also reflecting the city's development and entrepreneurship. 17:00 – Visit Maia 360 –Lidador Tower – learn about the history of Maia and enjoy a 360º view of the city and the Porto Metropolitan Area Free admission Visit subject to registration at https://www.visitmaia.pt/conteudo/visita-torre-lidador-sons-no-patrimonio-2025-20-de-setembro-17h00 Sounds in Heritage Sites’ full programme at https://iporto.amp.pt/en/eventos/sounds-in-heritage-sites-2025/
