Raul Vaz Bernardo, in Expresso

Miguel Lobo Antunes, Culturgest
:
“Pianist Filipe Raposo just released his remarkable first CD “First Falls” and his trio with Carlos Bica and drummer Carlos Miguel was one of the highlights of the festival. His music is characterized by strong melodies. Sometimes he’s adapting compositions from Bach or Schubert he works them out that they fit in his own soundscape which is influenced by tradition and contemporary music. With Bica and Miguel he had a dream team, real poetry in motion!”
