On Wednesday 11 November Raquel Dutra presents "(re)cantos" on São Miguel, a concert built on her recording project that revisits the traditional Azorean songbook. Each song comes with a brief reading or comment placing it in its musical, ethnographic and historical setting, so the evening sits somewhere between a concert and a guided listening. Worth it for anyone curious about where Azorean folk song comes from; the spoken parts will mean most to Portuguese speakers.
The listing places the concert on São Miguel but names no venue or start time, so check locally before planning a trip across the island.

Free, specialist and mostly in Portuguese; the 18:00 choir set is the easiest part to drop in on.
