In Cantexto, an original project of Futurama - Cultural and Artistic Ecosystem of Baixo Alentejo, every year contemporary Portuguese writers are invited to compose new modas for the choral groups, updating their traditional repertoires. In each verse, they weave the threads of new people, generations and memories, drawing a bridge between the Portugal of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
