Coimbra

Culture and Leisure ,[object Object],As the first capital of Portugal and established the oldest Portuguese university, Coimbra has been for centuries a major musical center. Historically, the New Cathedral, the Monastery of Santa Cruz (founded by D. Afonso Henriques) and the University (with the music class since 1323) were the main centers of production and musical practice. D. Pedro de Cristo and Carlos Seixas summits are references in Portuguese music, along with the names of D. Pedro da Esperança, D. Francisco de Santa Maria, D. Heliodoro de Paiva, Fernão Gomes Correia, Vasco Pires, Matthew de Aranda, Pedro Thalésio or José Maurício .

The Fado of Coimbra is closely connected to academic traditions and is characterized by a guitar with a structure, configuration and tuning itself. Names such as Adriano Correia de Oliveira e Zeca Afonso, singers and poets of resistance to dictatorship, revolutionized the traditional Portuguese music. In light contemporary music, particularly in genres such as rockabilly and blues, there are several names associated with Coimbra. These are examples JP Simões, Legendary Tiger Man (Paul Brown, vocalist of WrayGunn), the WrayGunn and Bunnyranch. . MUSIC
