Records & Photographs

Intro

On February 16th I held a hearing session at Bar Torto, by invitation of the Listening Porto project. The idea was to present songs from my vinyl collection built on record covers that reproduce images from the history of photography since its inception until the present day; accessible here — Records & Photographs. A record collection built exclusively from the visual component has the peculiarity of the music is not always valued or even listened to, which means that many of the albums that end up being part of this collection from the musical point of view are mostly unknown to me. And, therefore, I never thought that the exercise of identifying songs for this specific session would prove to be extraordinarily rich, thus bringing me closer to songs that otherwise I would not have come across. This second chapter of Clube da Esquina, now reduce to one hour, is a selection of what was possible to hear at The Listening Porto session. The night was well received by the audience. Hope you like it too! ☺️
