dal:um live in Lisbon

Experience dal:um live on October 10th

Dal:um, the artistic project of Portuguese musician Catarina Miranda, will perform at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal on October 10, 2026. Dal:um’s music is characterized by a blend of electronic textures, traditional Portuguese vocal techniques – particularly *cante alentejano* (a polyphonic singing tradition from the Alentejo region) – and field recordings. Her work often explores themes of memory, landscape, and cultural heritage through a contemporary sonic lens, frequently incorporating manipulated samples and atmospheric soundscapes.

The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation is a Portuguese philanthropic organization founded in 1951 by Calouste Gulbenkian, an Armenian oil magnate and art collector. It’s renowned for its extensive art collection encompassing ancient and modern works, displayed within its museum complex. Beyond the museum, the Foundation supports activities in arts, science, education, and social welfare within Portugal and internationally.
