TRIBUTE TO MARÍLIA MENDOÇA, SERTANEJINHO AND CARNAFEST: BRAZILIAN TALENT IN PORTUGAL
Recognizing BR FEST as a point of convergence of people and cultures, MOT, the event’s producer, has also invited Brazilian organizations operating in the biggest parties in Portugal to join the event. The response to the invitation was immediate and gave rise to important moments that will be part of the line-up. In this way, the Sertanejinho moment was added to the line-up, where the latest hits of this musical style that has gained more and more followers will be played. There will also be (and could not miss) a moment where the Carnival of Bahia (Carnafest) will be king, in which festival-goers will be transported to a carnival universe in the middle of the beach.
Alongside these two moments, there is a third that will certainly be one of the highlights of the event: the Tribute to Marília Mendonça. The artist’s enormous legacy will take the stage, in a tribute that will bring together thousands of people who appreciated the work of the “Sertaneja diva”, in a moment that is expected to be of great sharing and feeling.

A STAGE FOR SHARING EXPERIENCES, CULTURE, GASTRONOMY AND THE GOOD ENERGY OF THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE AND CULTURE.
“We have been thinking for a long time about preparing a large event for the Brazilian community living in Portugal. This event was planned by listening to the opinions of that same community, involving some Brazilian personalities and designing something that would be an exaltation of the cultural spirit of the sister country. More than a music festival, BR Fest aims to assert itself as an ovation to an entire culture that is increasingly taking root in our country.“, said Tiago Castelo Branco, Executive Director of MOT.
The entire production and promotion of BR Fest is the responsibility of MOT – Memories of Tomorrow, a Portuguese company of reference in the production and promotion of large events, in collaboration with Live Entertainment, one of the largest production agencies in Brazil. The BR Fest, the promoters emphasize, “intends to be the meeting point of a community that every day is more affirmed in Portugal“.
