Live Concert "The Stick & Rope Band"

Wood and string are the two materials and elements that underpin the construction of chordophones and all stringed instruments. The Stick & Rope Band took inspiration for its name from a quote by a musician who used to say that ‘nothing sounds better than a stick and string band’. 

And rare are the times when it is possible to bring together two unique elements in the creation of music and a band: excellence of execution and friendship. When this happens, allied to a strong complicity, the woods and the strings breathe.

Stick & Rope Band is formed by a group of old friends, musicians, and Portuguese instrumentalists with wide experience in the accompaniment of several artists: Frederico Gato (bass), João Tiago Oliveira (classic guitar), Ricardo Parreira (Portuguese guitar) and João Mouzinho (percussion).

Together on stage, this group of friends presents in concert a set of new arrangements of themes and songs by composers they admire, as well as original instrumental themes composed by them.
