Live music, comedy, leading artists and a live audience on The Arts Hour tour in Portugal

The Arts Hour tour returns, on stage at the Cineteatro Capitólio in Lisbon, Portugal, with live music, comedy, leading artists and a live audience.

The Arts Hour is back on tour in Lisbon, Portugal. Nikki Bedi will be hearing about what makes Lisbon's culture rich and unique. 

She also discusses how the arts community is dealing with the long term impact of the pandemic, as Lisbon opens up after strict Covid-19 restrictions, as well as looking at how the arts are addressing the country's colonial past.

There is live music from the multi award winning Dino d'Santiago. We hear about Lisbon's love affair with Fado music from top fadista Carminho.

Lúcia Moniz, winner of this year's Portuguese Golden Globe award for best actress, tells us about the country's film industry.

Leading novelist Dulce Maria Cardoso explains why she feels it is important to interweave Portugal's colonial and political past into her novels. 

Musician and activist Selma Uamusse takes us on a personal Culture Cab tour of Lisbon.
 
And there is comedy from the award winning Bumba na Fofinha. 

The programme was recorded at the Cineteatro Capitólio.
