Carnival City, in association with A Festa Portuguesa, has booked Portugal’s biggest recording artist, Jorge Ferreira, to play the venue during this year’s highly anticipated A Festa Portuguesa 2014.<\/p>\n
From September 23 to 28, Carnival City will deliver the best of Portugal.<\/p>
Hot on the heels of an exceptional first year’s success in 2013, A Festa Portuguesa will once again deliver a cultural Portuguese extravaganza like no other.<\/p>\n
Heritage, culture, legacy and history are set to meld when A Festa Portuguesa 2014 welcomes Ferreira to the impressive five-day feast of the senses.<\/p>
While he prepares a set-list of much loved fan favourites, the festival will focus on everything Portuguese.<\/p>\n
Think great food, music, competitions, exhibitions and more.<\/p>\n
Born in Azores, Portugal (in February, 1955), Ferreira has worked tirelessly to build a career in music that rivals his peers.<\/p>\n
He is also the president and founder of Portuguese Music World, the world’s most-famous Portuguese record company.<\/p>\n
South Africans know and love him for his early 1980’s breakout hit-single “Papai”.<\/p>\n
Having sold in excess of 1.2 million copies, it stands as the country’s fifth best-selling song of all time.<\/p>\n
Besides knowing that there’s a good chance he’ll honour his legacy, fans of the man can look out for all of his biggest hits and memories.<\/p>\n
Always starting with his mother tongue, Ferreira adds country, rock, American pop, rock, rockabilly, ballads, reggae, dance, flamenco, Latin music, American folk, fado, Christmas songs, hip-hop, kuduro, desgarrada, and Portuguese folklore to his line-up and makes every song his own.<\/p>\n
He will perform in the Big Top Arena at 7pm on September 26, and at 1pm on September 27.<\/p>\n
Each ticket bought will also allow fans entrance to A Festa Portuguesa on the day of the performance they attend.<\/p>\n
