Held under the overarching theme “Cabo Verde and Portugal: Knowledge, Mobilities and the Future”, the event will take place in Auditorium B1, Berna Campus, NOVA FCSH, fostering dialogue and reflection on research and educational experiences connecting the Faculty with Cabo Verdean territories, communities and institutions.

Filippo Bonini Baraldi is a Principal Researcher at INET-md, Coordinator of the Ethnomusicology and Popular Music Studies Research Group, and a member of the Institute’s Board. His interdisciplinary research focuses on the relationships between music, cognition and emotions, combining ethnomusicological and anthropological approaches with perspectives from the cognitive sciences.

His research also incorporates documentary filmmaking and audiovisual methodologies as integral components of ethnomusicological inquiry. Among his ongoing projects is À Sombra de Cesária, focusing on Cabo Verdean musician Armando Tito. The project combines fieldwork, interviews, filming and audiovisual archival research in Cabo Verde, contributing to the documentation and understanding of the archipelago’s musical practices and artistic trajectories.
