Wishing everyone the best for the season, Mazgani Online promises big news for 2012 and bids everyone a happy new year!

Dividindo palcos com notáveis do panorama internacional como Mick Harvey ou Lydia Lunch – passou duas vezes pela Sardenha, por exemplo. No palco do Olga Cadaval, Mazgani apresentar-se-á acompanhado pelo seu guitarrista, num espectáculo de um intimismo de grau superior ao que o seu público está habituado. Uma maneira diferente de ouvir o intenso material de Song of Distance, que terá edição internacional alargada por alturas do Sintra Misty.

Following his international Summer appearances, Mazgani returns to more familiar stages with an encore appearance at the Sintra Misty Festival where he played last year, graduating to the main stage this year.

He will play on the 15th of October accompanied only by his guitarist Sérgio Mendes – for a differente, more intimate interpretation of the acclaimed Song of Distance album.
