WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO PARTICIPATE

During Ethno Portugal, different mentors will conduct the creative process, help with musical arrangements, choreographies 

and assist in whatever is needed. 

We are looking for musicians, motivated and willing to dive in a amazing and unexpected journey.

Musicians from the same country must choose a traditional tune or song to share with all the other musicians, creating 

the repertoire for the final show.

The final show will consist in moments with all the orquestra group, and moments with small groups, where musicians 

can work closer together to explore even more the fusion, during all the creative process.
