Mais-Alto! book and record
Mais-Alto! both a book and a record, is louva-a-deus’s first edition, available in our store
Versions of songs by José Afonso, José Mário Branco, Rita Lee, Titãs, Nuno Prata, Clã or Luís Severo and their lyrics (so we can sing them all together), illustrated and paired with the stories behind each of these creations.

Mais Alto! celebrates music and the powerful way it allows us to reach each out to each other and express our dreams and the things that make us mad. Having played over 50 concerts all over Portugal for children in teenagers, this is the project’s first record.
