Favela Impromptu


The pool is where the majority of attendees spend the daylight hours, but it’s the small Palco Taina courtyard that is the festival’s true hub. Porto record label Favela Discos take over the stage on Thursday night for our first taste, Os Amigos de Anta, who hoot and howl their way among the crowd, dressed like a cross between a Russian babushka and Spirited Away’s No-Face. It’s a baffling but beautiful scene, the courtyard pocked with benches under the shade of orange trees, a DIY bar selling sangria against the walls of the weathered old Iberian house that flanks the stage.
