Xutos & Pontapés - O Circo de Feras, ao Vivo no Campo Pequeno

Xutos & Pontapés got together in Almada, Portugal in 1978, 4 years after the 25 April Revolution. Fittingly entered the punk rock scene and set the trend - singing rock tunes in Portuguese. After 3 decades of studio and live albums, Xutos & Pontapés continue to be Portugal's top rock band influencing new generations of Portuguese bands. In 2004 the band was awarded a state decoration by Portuguese President Jorge Sampaio, for 25 years of career achievements in the music industry. Current members are original line up Tim (bass/vocals), Zé Pedro (guitar), João Cabeleira (guitar), Kalú (drums) and Gui (sax). Fans refer to the band as Xutos; and Xutos is pronounced 'shootoosh'. Both 'xutos' and 'pontapés' are words in reference to two types of kicks ('xutos' for kicks in a ball, and 'pontapés' for kicks in the shin).

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
This Christmas, the big circus …. rock n 'roll came to town!
And so began the magnificent spectacle that Xutos & Pontapés presented in December 2007, at Campo Pequeno, as a celebration of 20 years editing the emblematic disco João Cabeleira.
There were two concerts in the most legendary rock groups Portuguese celebrated 20 years of editing the album "Circo de Feras" one of the albums that marked the national music and 80's, and brought the Xutos a status that no longer abandoned. But these two concerts were much more than music. Were unique events, which also reveal how views of circus arts, performances.
Thus, in Campo Pequeno decorated like a big circus tent, the five Xutos & Pontapés (Tim's voice and bass, Zé Pedro and João Cabeleira on guitars, Kalu on drums and Gui on sax) will parade the songs (including “Contentores”, “N’América” or the title theme). There will also be the masters of ceremonies who receive many numbers of guest artists in the area of new circus, artists that will excite and amaze audiences of the venerable hall Lisbon.
