The 25th April slum of Meia Praia is situated between the beach and the railway that takes us into the town of Lagos. It all began as a group of huts that were improvised by the \u201cindigenous\u201d people of Meia-Praia, who came from Monte Gordo and whose simple wish was to survive to the golden dream that Lagos could not provide. After the 25th April Revolution and through the architecture plan \u201cServi\u00e7o de Apoio Ambulat\u00f3rio Local\u201d (S.A.A.L.), the huts were transformed into houses built by their own inhabitants. A lot of the political promises made thirty years ago are still waiting to be fulfilled. How does it feel to live at Meia-Praia today?<\/p>\n

Lisboa Mistura (2008), da Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Sons da Lusofonia, 156\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a new documentary from the 13 programs \u201cLisboa Mistura TV\u201d. Lisboa Mistura hosts the sounds of the city, connecting with the arts and some related experiences. It is a reflection about the creative contemporary and is the result of the inevitable mixture made with the urgency and the melancholy of each culture and each one of us. It was thought as a place of observation and action in the city, to understand better the possible paths that are opened by mixtures, simple or complex, that take place all the time. Lisboa Mistura arises from the need to create a place of intercultural intervention where human creativity is viewed as a powerful instrument of communication, unity and clarification of our differences: many times, the \u201cother” is us.<\/p>\n

In Portugal, we can find a new generation of musicians, producers and DJs that, focused on aesthetic and technologic mutations in music, preserve the distinctive traits of the \u201ccultura lus\u00f3fona\u201d, which they are a part of. This movement in music sums up five centuries of history and through it Lisbon stands out as a stage of different musical elements that are part of the \u201cheran\u00e7a\u00a0 (heritage) lus\u00f3fona\u201d : coladeras mixed with jazz, kuduro beats\u00a0 with hip-hop, reggae and crioulo. Lusofonia, a revolution is a way of looking at the creative enthusiasm that characterizes the music production in Portugal at the present moment.<\/p>\n

Outros Bairros (Other neighbourhoods), 1999, by Kiluanje Liberdade, Vasco Pimentel and In\u00eas Gon\u00e7alves

There are some boys and girls in Portugal who have no homeland. They are not Cape Verdeans because they\u2019ve never been to Cape Verde. They are not Portuguese because the language and the customs are not those of their families. They do not want to be Portuguese, maybe they will want to be Cape Verdeans. Now they are from Pontinha, from Pedreira dos H\u00fangaros, from Arrentela, from Miratejo, from Cova da Moura. They are from the \u201c\u00e1rea\u201d, from the \u201cbairro\u201d, they are \u201cniggas\u201d. They have their own borders, their own laws, their own language, hymns, ideas and unmistakable set of codes. They have created for the very first time in the 500-year old story of the stormy and close relationship between Portuguese and Africans an autonomous, assertive and avant-gardist culture in Portugal. And they are proud.<\/p>\n
