This year, France is celebrating Portuguese culture with concerts, exhibitions and performances from the country's top artists. To mark the occasion, FRANCE 24's culture show Encore! takes you on a musical voyage to Lisbon. The Portuguese capital has a sound like no other European city, where a boom in music influenced by African beats is eroding social barriers and making waves internationally.
Presenter Eve Jackson meets award-winning Portuguese star Dino D'Santiago, who is forming a bridge between two continents. The singer's family come from one of Portugal's former colonies, Cape Verde. With five acclaimed albums, he uses his voice to bring African rhythms and culture to more people. Dino is a champion of Lisbon's new wave of Afro-electronic sounds, singing of a new Lisbon: a city that recognises and accepts its diverse social fabric.
