A small music festival will be held at the Pin-to Musica record store in Senado Square, starting from tonight and finishing on Sunday night, to pay homage to the closing store.
The “Pin-to Musica Festival” will be the last event organized at the store which will formally close on Sunday night due to the cancellation of a leasing agreement. It will mark the end of a decade for the store, which joined its sister bookshop back in 2006.
Tonight between 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., local alternative trio “Forget the G” will perform at the music shop. Ahead of the gig, the group wrote: “On July 31 our favorite CD store Pin-to Musica will start its honorable retirement. We will bring stories, musical instruments and some wine there [tonight], to share our new album, ‘Further’, with audiences and to say goodbye properly to this old friend of ours.”
Tomorrow night, four young jazz musicians from Macau will play a set at the shop, exploring classic tracks from the genre as well as “impromptu jazz free spirit.”
The four-piece will be preceded earlier in the day by “Halfcat,” a Macau band that styles itself mainly on the Britpop movement – inspired by bands like Oasis and Blur – but includes psychedelic and punk elements too.
Meanwhile, on Sunday two sets will be performed by François Girouard, a Canadian composer, guitarist, drummer and videographer who has settled in Macau. He will be joined in the first session by Portuguese singer Rita Cerqueira Portela for a jazz groove, only to return later in the evening to play the final session of the festival and of the shop. DB
