Modas a Margem do Tempo exist to combine traditional cante Alentejano (folk music from the Alentejo region of Portugal) with elements from other musical traditions, such as classical music.
Five musicians of different generations and with diversified musical formations form the band: five voices; one cellist; two acoustics guitarists; an accordionist and a percussionist bring an intimate style to traditional cante songs.
These traditional songs highlight the stillness and peace that itself breathes in the Alentejo region. This is intimate music, music that contains the memory of ancient tasks, rites, values and expressions, since fallen into disuse. It is presented in a project intended to protect the future of our cultural inheritances.
