U.N.U. - A Nova Portugalidade

A Nova Portugalidade

I-Tunes:

U Nu (The Naked) is an innovative music group. The contemporary style, formed from various musical genres, is based on literary texts by Vitorino Almeida Ventura. The musicians interpret, sing, recite, dance, act, mime, blow reeds, strike bells…and classical instruments – in a unique way. In the composition of their work, the performers use various structures and musical styles from Portuguese folk music to pop to classical. Their work includes other art forms as well: photography, painting, theater, realized by members of the group in collaboration with other artists. All things considered, The Naked is surely an interesting bet for the integration of all kinds of actions and for situations open to creativity. This CD is produced by Mário Barreiros, under the artistic direction of José João Cochofel, with design by Antero Ferreira.
