Mafalda Veiga celebrates 40 years of songs with albums and concerts in the coliseus

A singer Mafalda Veiga celebrates next year 40 years of songs, with a new album and a tour that includes “two special concerts” in the Lisbon and Porto coliseus, in October and November respectively, was announced today.

On the day that she publishes a second theme of the new album, to be edited at the beginning of next year, the singer and songwriter announces “two special concerts”, on October 29, 2027 at the Colosseum of Porto and on November 11, 2027 at the Colosseum of Recreios, in Lisbon, mentions the agency of Mafalda Veiga, in a statement released today.

“ It will be the biggest nights of the celebration of 40 years of songs, a party that will extend to the entire national tour of presentation of the new album, over 2027”, reads in the statement.

From Mafalda Veiga’s new album, whose title has not yet been revealed, the themes “Winter does not last as long as it seems” are already known, released in March, and “That wing”, available from today.

This will be the first album of originals that the singer and composer has edited since “Praia” (2016), “and the starting point of a year that Mafalda Veiga wants to live as a new beginning”.

The concert scheduled for the Lisbon Coliseum on November 11, 2027, takes place five days before four decades on Mafalda Veiga’s debut album, “Pássaros do Sul”.

“The number sounds surreal to me, because it doesn’t seem or feel like it’s been so long (it goes really fast, nothing to do), and also because what is kept more clearly does not obey a chronology: memory has its rules and knows no calendars. I will enter in 2027 with a feeling of beginning, of construction and enthusiasm as I felt in my opening year. I want to take the right luggage, what it is and was good to keep, and thank the privilege of the music to remain my safest port ", said Mafalda Veiga, quoted in the statement.

Next year's tour, which includes concerts in the coliseums, begins in February at Entroncamento, and then passes by Póvoa de Varzim, Leiria, Miranda do Corvo, Caldas da Rainha and Coimbra, with even more dates to be announced.

Accompanying Mafalda Veiga on stage will be musicians João Sampayo, Miguel Marôco, Francisco Sales and Francisco Santos, in a show with musical direction by João Só.

Mafalda Veiga debuted as an author in 1983, with the song “Old”, included in the debut album, and with which she won the Silves Song Festival in 1984.

At the age of 21, he edited the first album, “South Birds”, which includes themes such as “Planície” and “Restrolho” and was produced by Manuela Faria dos Trovante.

Nine others followed: “Singing” (1988), “Nothing Repeats” (1992), “The Color of Fogueira” (1996), “Tattoo” (1999), which includes “Every Place Your” and “Tattoos” (dueto with Jorge Palma), “Na Alma e na Pele” (2003), “Lado a Lado” (2007), with João Pedro Pais, “Chão” (2008), which earned him a José Afonso Award, “Zoom” (2011) and “Praia” (2016).
