Playlist in the form of revolution

Synopsis

A song has the ability of inspiring great changes, becoming the anthem of a cause or even serving as a code for a revolution. Its message can simultaneously arouse a profound inner turmoil or awaken an entire country. During the most liberated month of the year, we invited vocalist and composer Francisca Cortesão to create a playlist that takes the form and sound of a revolution yet to begin.
