Três Tristes Tigres
The Três Tristes Tigres (TTT) were formed in the early 1990s. (...) The group reunited in 2017 to play the album “Guia Espiritual”, and in 2020, TTT returned to recording with the acclaimed “Mínima Luz”. On their new album, “Arca”, to be released in 2025, TTT send love letters to the world. Between similarities and differences, there is an awareness that everything is inscribed in each one and that the whole is part of the detail. Songs about migration and turbulence animated by the desire for contagious love. Most of the lyrics continue to be written by poet Regina Guimarães, and the music is composed by Alexandre Soares and Ana Deus.

This small, ancient fort, built in the 1400s during the reign of João I of Portugal, has a quadrangular layout with four bastions at the corners: two facing the sea (the Conceição and São Francisco de Bórgia bastions) and two facing inland (the São José and São Filipe e Diogo bastions). From the flanks of the former, two 33-metre-long sections of wall extend, joining at a salient angle towards the sea and thus forming a battery 7 metres wide and over 60 metres long. In 1743, a chapel was built on the embankment of the fortification, dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Conceição (Our Lady of the Conception), called the “Royal Chapel”. 18:00 - Guided tour of the Fortress Free admission Sounds in Heritage Sites’ full programme at https://iporto.amp.pt/en/eventos/sounds-in-heritage-sites-2025/
