Desc: Portugal desde a Raíz: Directed by Nico Guedes. "Portugal Desde a Raiz" is a real journey through the country, inspired by the work of Giacometti between 1960 and 1983, enriched by the concept underlying the work of North American Ry Cooder, in works such as "Buena Vista Social Club", "Mambo Sinuendo" and "A Meeting By The River", where in addition to the collection work, looking for root musicians, Ry Cooder creates new music together with these artists, lending his vision, looking to the present. Budda Guedes, musician and artistic director of the project, visited each of the 8 artists in their region to compose and record a song together. In a period of 3 days, each guest artist worked in partnership with Budda Guedes to compose together a song that reflects the region and the musical genre that each artist represents (Fado, Cante Alentejano, Canto Polífônico, Desgarrada, Percussion, Corridinho do Algarve, Música Mirandesa).
