Samuel Úria
Event
Born in the deep part of the nation, between Caramulo and Serra da Estrela, Úria takes the blues from the Dão Delta to the stage. From rural legend to urban legend, everything is right: half man half gospel, hands of fado and feet of rock and roll.
It is this way that for almost a decade now all the texts associated with Samuel Úria begin. And this will be no exception. So we must paraphrase Camané and steal the title of his live album from hom - "como sempre, como dantes".
In fact, to present these concerts at this distance to Porto and Lisbon only with the suggestive idea that they will be the "concerts presentation of a new album", without a title or more than a well-know song - "Fica Aquém" was released at the end of November - it is nothing more than a matter of trust. Of mutual trust, we would say.
But are there any reserves when we talk about Samuel Úria? We refer to who over the past few years has brought us unquestionable songs, songs that touched us, that excited us, that made us dance, songs that created their own space that, with no disrespect towards others, can only be occupied by Samuel Úria, just because it was a non-existent lyrical and musical territory, pioneered and conquered by the most talented singer-songwriter of this century - "Vem de novo", "Fusão", "Carga de Ombro", "É preciso que eu diminua", "Lenço Enxuto", "Espalha Brasas", "Teimoso" , "Não arrastes o meu caixão" and "Babarella e Barba Rala" are examples of this, and many more.
And will anyone who has trusted us with all this deserve to be under suspicion? Or, on the contrary, will him be able to demand the same from us in return? We believe so, that it deserves all the expectations that the phrase "concerts for presenting the new album" creates. "Fica Aquém", the recently revealed song, further strengthens that spirit. Don't miss it!
