"An international music project that deeply excavates the land of memory, inspires beauty from it, and sails towards a new port." Old songs dock at their port, they arrive carrying the memory of place and the life that respires into it, with its aroma, and with the tiny details of the people who had departed from it, and left behind a musical legacy as a natural outgrowth of their presence. Mina (Arabic for port), is a band that was formed the same way, its members met without prior knowledge or planning, but it conjured into a deliberate coincidence, one with clear features and a path. The band came together to hunt for this musical legacy, enriched by the experience of its people and their stilted way of life, deriving from it its most solid nucleus; instinct. From instinct and its pristine sensory, the people wrote and chanted about love and war, about relationships and beauty, about mother nature, revolutions and the stories of their ancestors, manifesting their customs and traditions with joy, sketching the images of their sailors waiting their return to their wives, lovers promises to meet by the water spring and revolutionaries dreams for freedom. Mina brings Portuguese singer Sofia Portugal and Palestinian singer Terez Sliman together with three Portuguese musicians - Rui Ferreira, Ricardo Coelho and Pedro Lima Pereira - to find these songs and sail again, taking them on a voyage to new spaces discovered by their remarkable musical extravaganza. Mina is the harbor of an expanding family, made up today of a professional team along side the five musicians, to include sound engineer, Miguel Guerra; media coordinators, Rasha Hilwi and Asmaa Azaizeh; and translator, Aya Hijazi. On other spots of this plain, Mina awaits a song to quay at its port, where it can sail again. We offer you the Mina (the port) from which you can join our next journey and turn it into an even richer experience.
