So how is a concert in Angola is very different? You adapt to the public and what is around you?
NM: It would probably be, I do not want to be lying and being hypothetical. I've done many things in Angola, different things, different types of shows. This is the first concert I do with this group of musicians and gives this combination, the difference is not necessarily where I am, in this story I tell and is not something that I react geographically, there are many elements that come into play, which I hope always do when I am in Angola and Madeira, or when in Sines in a few days. What I want is to create narratives that can engage people, is what interests me.
After a concert in Angola, which was the public perception, what was their feedback?
NM: I do not know, I do not worry about it. I confess that something which does not concern myself too much because it's too dangerous. Now I know that there are people who appreciate my work, they support me, but many feel aggressive, risky, bad and think it is the same anywhere.
The theme of "more" is your favorite?
NM: I like, is not my favorite song.
So today was "more"?
NM: It was not that I wanted to sing and including the "more". I sing the theme, but when I hear the album is not my favorite subject, playing live is another format. I always had the intention of making pop music, but I could not and apparently this song was my last attempt. Now, I want to make music and not worry about it.
What is the theme that defines you as a musician?
NM: Do not define me, my songs nonetheless are not therapy. It is not a therapy session that I offer myself to people, no. I like listening to the album "if Angolan" particularly "the outburst of any Angolan" the theme that this does not define me, but the motivation of the work.
A soundtracks? There was the concert a sort of osmosis between what was happening on the screen behind you and what you sang. Vic Pereiró show you first images and then you write the lyrics, or vice versa? How is the creative process like?
NM: In this case all the musical universe was created first and then with my production and Vic is that we have created these musical narratives. And our idea is not to create redundant things, is not to make a video that is reporting the music, but something that adds another dimension, another perspective, because if there is someone who could possibly be deaf and are just looking for images, I have a kind of narrative, if someone blind and only listen to music that works is if I have someone with all senses, I hope that this combination still bring something else. So we want to create narratives, soundtracks is a good way to put it, more audio-visual upon a stage that is our aim.
And will continue to produce these partnerships?
NM: My partnership with Vic's before and I hope it continues for a long time.
And what is your next project to the musical level?
NM: At the musical level, none. I defend this current project, but I work as a musician in everything I do. I do not know if I can consider musical projects or not, but I have several exhibitions now to prepare. Indeed, it is already a huge audacity to make music and be here because the lives of musicians is very difficult, its renumbering is very low, but it's the passion that brings me here. My way of being is as an artist in the music field is to prepare these shows, almost look like a football player, but I'm focused on the upcoming concert.
The music appears before or after the art in your career as an artist? Or are two parallel paths?
NM: Writing is the only constant in all of this, everything else appears as a mechanism to convey. I'm interested in telling stories, there are that have best in movie, in a photo, in song, video, still others on the stage and I just want to tell them. I want to share perspectives with people and let it be said in a competent manner, art and music are at the service of it, the wish to convey, the principle is the writing, everything goes through the word.
