SOPA DE PEDRA is a musical research group made up of 10 women. Through polyphonic arrangements of traditional Portuguese music performed a cappella, they explore the wealth of traditional legacy and place it in reference to the context of world music today. The repertoires include orally transmitted Mirandese songs from Tras-os-Montes, ballads from the Azores, and repertoires by Zeca Afonso, Amélia Muge and GAC, among others.
