The combination of the voice and guitar of Sara Serpa and André Matos is magic, dazzling and calm. After a 7 years hiatus, they release Night Birds, a magnetic and compelling new album exploring songs, improvisation and reflections on fast-paced societies of the modern world, questioning the consumption and exploitation of natural ecosystems, parenthood and climate change. Night Birds establishes Serpa and Matos’ gifts as a creative and an expansive duo in a program of contrasting beauty and darkness, with mesmerizing and textural pieces featuring Dov Manski, Sofia Jernberg, Okkyung Lee and João Pereira. For this concert, they will perform in trio with Dov Manski.

The Portuguese native and New York based artists have been working together since 2005. They achieved a unique sonic world, drawing upon pure and contemplative sounds through a personal approach to melody and poetry. Their musical identity reveals both their Portuguese culture as well as a certain allure inspired by the creative artistic environment of New York. Serpa and Matos have been performing their music in countries like Portugal, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, and the United States.

Sara Serpa’s Recognition at GDS 02.08.23 | 6:30pm | Washington DC

workshops and performances at Georgetown Day School for their Social Justice Teach-In Days

Sara Serpa -voice/compositions, Erika Dohi- piano, Brad Linde - tenor saxophone

Featuring texts by Amílcar Cabral narrated by Angolan singer Aline Frazão, Recognition is an essay documentary directed by Portuguese vocalist-composer Sara Serpa, in collaboration with film director Bruno Soares. Using family archive footage from colonial Angola, Recognition takes as a point of departure, Portugal’s denial in confronting its dark colonial past. The material has been edited and transformed to create a sensory experience in which music and image are juxtaposed with texts by the revolutionary, Amílcar Cabral from Unity and Struggle, Luandino Vieira and Linda Heywood. The documentary explores the co-existence of two realities: one, verbally described by the colonized, and the other, filmed by the colonizer, proposing and imagining a new narrative, while inviting the viewer/listener to reflect on history in a visceral way.

With understated piano & keyboards at its center, I, Castorpollux is equal parts hazy nostalgia, science-fiction soundtrack and electro-acoustic experimentation. The project features contributions from Channy Leaneagh (Polica), Andy Akiho, Immanuel Wilkins, Ambrose Akinmusire, Jeremy Boettcher, Emily Wells, Zach Hanson, and is produced by William Brittelle, a vital modern composer himself.
