DANÇA DOS DESASTRADOS
Miguel Ângelo Quartet
Great news!
Dança dos Desastrados will be the Quartet´s new album. It is already recorded and I am very happy with the result.
Of course, I still count on the enormous João Guimarães, on sax; Joaquim Rodrigues on Piano and Marcos Cavaleiro on drums.
Thanks to the GDA Foundation (Management of the Rights of Artists) for the support it has given me and which makes it possible to carry out the project (www.gda.pt).
Stay tuned, soon there will be more news...

LAND
MAZAM (2020)
In his most recent original project, Mortágua explores the characteristics of the quartet with piano, joining an emblematic rhythmic section, in favor of a fresh and refined product. Without filters, you cry the sorrow of the seaside and laugh in the face of joy on the mountain. This space is made of everything and nothing. It is not, MAZAM.
