JIG - JIG




I-Tunes:


JIG emerged on the musical scene of Porto in 1986, as a group composed by Isabel Leal (voice), Alfredo Teixeira (mandolin and concertina), Arlindo Silva (violin), Carlos Adolfo (guitar and bodrhan), Manuel Apolinário (flutes), Manuel Salselas (bass) and Quiné (drums). This, the group’s first CD, represents the culmination of 6 years of work. JIG’s name is derived from a type of Irish dance. Celtic music emerged as the ideal choice for the group after some years of activity as "Vai de Roda", a group which attempted to reinvigorate itself between 1985 and 1987. From traditional Portuguese music the group passed to music with Celtic roots. Since then, they have come to realize a series of concerts, throughout the North of Portugal and Galicia. The group participated recently in Porto’s Inter-Celtic Festival. “Tavern songs, drinking songs, from knife fights to weeping, from police stories to harvest songs. Happy, furious, ironic. JIG moves in a wild musical terrain where only rarely does melancholy install itself...” “...they made the Rivoli blush...” “The band from Porto, JIG, steals the show” “...if the objective of JIG is to animate the masses and to provoke in some less-courageous spirits the uncontrollable desire to stand up and be heard, it must be said the at the concert on the 11th (S. Luíz) was a success...
