AT THE ROLLERCOASTER presents SÉTIMA LEGIÃO at Hard Club in Porto on May 12, 2023
Sétima Legião returns to the stage, 40 years after the beginning of its particular history, which is, precisely, one of the most celebrated in national pop rock. These shows also serve to honor Ricardo Camacho, producer and keyboardist of the group that disappeared in 2018.
On this return, the Sétima Legião of Pedro Oliveira (voice and guitar), Rodrigo Leão (bass and keys), Nuno Cruz (drums, percussion), Gabriel Gomes (accordion), Paulo Tato Marinho (bagpipes, flutes), Paulo Abelho (percussion, samplers) and Francisco Menezes (lyrics, choirs) also welcomes João Eleutério, an experienced musician who has traveled the world as part of Rodrigo Leão’s band and who will now play the keyboards.
It was in 1982 that Sétima Legião emerged in the then very agitated Portuguese music scene, presenting a unique vision of music in tune with the most advanced experiences of alternative pop at the time, but without forgetting the Portuguese identity. The band left a strong mark on national music production in the 1980s and 1990s. With these anniversary concerts, Sétima legião intends to revisit its most applauded classics and give new life to themes such as “Sete Mares” or “Por Quem Não Esqueci” , hits of great impact that even today have a guaranteed place on the programming of many radio stations. It should be noted that the Sétima Legião left musicians who were involved in unique projects in Portuguese music such as Madredeus, Gaiteiros de Lisboa or Cindy Kat, proof that important ideas were rehearsed there that generated fertile descendants.
After two sold-out nights in Lisbon on the 1st and 2nd of December, Sétima Legião will perform at the Hard Club on the 12th of May.
Tickets available via BOL online, FNAC, CTT Worten and El Corte Inglês at a price of 35 euros.
