Ethno Portugal will not happen in 2021
We're very sorry to announce to Ethno Family that Ethno Portugal will not happen this year. Last week, Évora City Council decided to cancel the Festival Artes à Rua, which would host this edition of Ethno Portugal, due to the evolution of the pandemic in Portugal.
The first impulse was trying to find solutions, but unfortunately all our funds were cut due to covid situation in portugal and we don't have the support we need to continue with this year edition.
We hope you can understand and that we can meet again next year.
We decided to keep a small gathering between the artistic team, once the dates were already booked for them, so this way we can feel the ethno energy is  moving, even if not the way we wished in the first place.
We'll share some images of this meeting on facebook, hope we can all be together in heart and music soul!!
We wish we can all find other groups and ways to keep creating and making music together with other people!! We all need that!

Take care,
Ethno Love!
