On January 24, 2025, the acclaimed Portuguese guitarist Pedro Jóia will take the stage at São Luiz Teatro Municipal in Lisbon for a performance that promises to be one of the year’s musical highlights. Joined by several special guests, Pedro Jóia will present a repertoire that spans the milestones of his career and his latest work, Mosaico.
With over 30 years of career experience, Pedro Jóia is one of Portugal’s most prestigious guitarists and composers. A two-time winner of the Carlos Paredes Prize and holder of a No. 1 spot on Portugal’s sales charts with the album Zeca, the musician has built a solid career reflecting the richness of Portuguese music and the universal appeal of the guitar.
Throughout his journey, he has collaborated with some of the biggest names in world music, including Ney Matogrosso, Gilberto Gil, Simone, Mariza, Ricardo Ribeiro, and Resistência, among others. His artistry has also shone as a soloist alongside various international orchestras, such as the Portuguese Symphony Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Venezuela, the Madeira Classical Orchestra, and the Macao Chinese Orchestra.
Renowned for his ability to merge tradition and innovation, Pedro Jóia’s discography pays tribute to iconic figures in Portuguese music. Works like Variações Sobre Carlos Paredes, À Espera de Armandinho, and Zeca are a testament to his profound respect for the country’s cultural roots. In Mosaico, his most recent album, the guitarist explores influences ranging from fado to flamenco and oriental music, reaffirming his talent for creating unique musical bridges.
The Lisbon concert will be enriched by the presence of esteemed guests who have accompanied Pedro Jóia at various stages of his career. Confirmed performers include José Manuel Neto (Portuguese guitar), percussionist José Salgueiro, and the Arabesco Quartet, who will join the guitarist to offer the audience an evening of rare musical intensity and beauty. In homage to the legacy of Carlos Paredes, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday in 2025, Pedro Jóia will dedicate a special segment of the show to revisiting the works of the master of the Portuguese guitar.
