Hugo Lobo, a young pianist from S. João da Madeira, is establishing himself as one of the most promising voices of the new generation of Portuguese jazz. As an artist-in-residence at the Novembro Jazz festival, he will present his latest project, “Be Boppin’”, at the 2026 edition – a personal and vibrant exploration of the world of bebop. In it, Hugo Lobo revisits one of the most distinctive styles in the history of jazz, using it as a starting point for a contemporary and original approach. The repertoire brings together original compositions alongside fresh interpretations of some of the genre’s great classics.
