Palankalama - Promotion of the record "Boca de Raia"

Crowdfunding campaign aimed at helping with the funding of Palankalama's new record entitled "Boca de Raia".

After a little more than three years playing together, we are launching our second album.

Boca de Raia - entitles the work, where the Portuguese cavaquinho appears as a central element of the ensemble, bringing with it the challenge of incorporating its characteristics in the context of the band's sound. In this new, record will then be possible to listen to the sound of a Portuguese cavaquinho resembling a South-American charango, a North-American banjo or an African kora. The small cavaquinho from Braga, stayed always limited to the folkloric context, continuing today to be seen as a not very resourceful instrument. Part of the aim of this work is to extend the scope of this instrument, contributing to its development, both at the technical level and in the "the imagery" that it is able to evoke, possible to be incorporated into any musical style or context.

Since some funds are necessary to carry out all of the logistics that this task involves, from the production to the promotion and the organizing of shows, we have decided to make a crowdfunding that reaches 2000€ in order to help kick-start our work in 2018.

However, we have some prizes in store for the friends who decide to support us.
