In Portuguese and Spanish below
Contagiarte was born in an old frat house, a
space that's not just a bar but also a cultural center. This bar is placed on
Álvares Cabral, right in the middle of town.
Launched in December of 2003 by Acaro - a
non-profit cultural association - Contagiarte soon asserted itself on Oporto's
night. Contagiarte is also known for being a cultural space with dance, theatre
and music workshops, along with exhibitions.
The space includes two studios, one of which has
an auditory, a gallery and a garden. When it comes to the nights, the rhythms
vary from night to night, from latin, funk, rock, pop, reggae, to fado even.
It's also common to throw intimate concerts that bring the artist and the
public closer together.
When in Oporto, Contagiarte is a mandatory stop,
whether it's for the cultural or the pleasure side.
