LusoSonic

Where language becomes a bridge .

At its heart are music, artists and cultural expressions from Brazil, Portugal and other parts of the Lusophone world.

The Essence

One language, shared roots .

LusoSonic connects the soundscapes of the Portuguese-speaking world — from Brazil to Portugal and beyond.

The format brings together artists, rhythms and perspectives, creating a space for contemporary sounds, cultural exchange and new musical connections. Between tradition and the present, a lively dialogue emerges that lets you hear and experience the diversity of Lusophone culture.

Origin. An encounter that honours where the sound comes from — the saudade of Lisbon, the wind of Cape Verde, the energy of Angola, the poetry of Mozambique, the warmth of Brazil.

Language. One language, spoken in five accents. Fado, funaná, kuduro, marrabenta, samba — they sound different, but they mean the same thing: home is not a place, it's a sound.

Encounter. In Zurich, where the diaspora meets. Where Lisbon meets Luanda, Salvador meets Praia, Maputo meets Recife — and everyone sings in the same language.
