The 2018 Eurovision Song Contest is almost upon us, with musicians belting their hearts out from host city Lisbon. Best for… the drama and melancholy of fadoWhere: Tasca do ChicoEstamos em gravações com a Cuca Roseta! Best for… African rhythmsWhere: B.Leza ClubeThere’s a thriving Cape Verdean community living in Lisbon; the West African archipelago was a former Portuguese colony. Named after one of the country’s biggest music producers, this music venue close to Cais do Sodre is a fantastic place to see African DJs and live acts play. Former Rinse FM resident Alexander Nut and Detroit’s deep groove-hunter Moodymann are both on the upcoming agenda, and some of the coolest cats in dance music spin records here when they’re in town.
