The Armenian translation of 'Os Lusíadas' will be presented on Wednesday, the 25th, at 18:30, at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon. The translator, Lusiné Brutyan, an Armenian living in Portugal, has previously translated Fernando Pessoa's 'A Mensagem'. The initiative to translate these Portuguese literary classics into Armenian was led by the Portugal-Armenia Friendship Association. The translation of Camões' major work was completed in September last year, but this presentation in Lisbon marks the first public event in Portugal. Vahé Mkhitarian, president of the association, highlighted the symbolic significance of the venue, noting its connection to Armenian heritage. The translation project began with the founding of the association in 2016, and Brutyan expressed her deep emotional journey while translating the beloved text. The book, published by Edit Print in Armenia, includes a preface by João Figueiredo, a professor at the University of Lisbon.
Prepare your heart to witness, if you haven't already, the performance that showcased the best of Brazilian music in Portugal. On the stage of RTP, the public service television of Portugal, during a national broadcast on Saturday night, February 21, MPB shone. No less than 12 Brazilian artists, immigrants in Portugal, filled the stage with their talent, representing those who often walk against the wind, sometimes without documentation, to promote cultural projects that energise the local music scene. The formation was led by Luca Argel, Nani Medeiros, and Karla da Silva, with Juju Batera on drums, Bibi Nobre on bass, Jhon Douglas on guitar, Diogo Guanabara on mandolin, Bruno Pereira on seven-string guitar, and percussion with Juninho Ibituruna, Tida Pinheiro, Emile Pereira, and Neném do Chalé - some of the artists are members of the Coletivo Gira, including Tida Pinheiro, Bibi Nobre, and Emile Pereira. This special moment was part of the first semifinal of the Song Festival, a traditional event in the country considered a sibling to the Brazilian Popular Music Festivals, a cultural landmark from the 1960s. Luca Argel was invited after participating in the 2025 edition of the festival, where he presented a song inspired by his own experiences and those of thousands of immigrants living in Portugal. It's worth seeing this band pass by.
