About Me

Mariana Duarte Silva is Portuguese and has lived in London since 2007 where she is representing Portuguese musical culture - opting to move to the great capital for professional reasons.Her thirst for success was not being matched in Lisbon where she was working as the manager and assistant to many electronic musical projects. She was concurrently working in the largest national media group in the country- yet, still this was not enough- she strived for something that Portugal was simply not giving her.With suitcases and ammunition she travelled to London in search of new opportunities which she was quick to find whether as an individual promoter or in partnership with other like-minded individuals. Professionally she started work at C Squared Communications where she gained skills to realise a few personal projects. She was invited to be part of the programming of the concerts for the very reputable Atlantic Waves Festival that she had so admired while in Portugal still.She is also one of the key elements of MAP (Multidisciplinary Program), a project with defined goals running until at least 2010. Mariana is also a freelance consultant at Citizensound as “Madame” where she is in charge of sonic branding and musical marketing for various bands and brands. In parallel to all this, she is also organising events in both London and Lisbon, including events at locations like Sketch and Cargo. At Plastic People, she is currently working on developing a regular presence by partnering British artists with Portuguese.She is PR/ Manager to Stereo Addiction and Rui da Silva, DJ’s she defends full heartedly. She does image consulting, PR, book their gigs and all the marketing strategy behind the artists, through pure passion.

O BAILE

 


O Baile 
 represents
 the
 best 
of 
underground
 Portuguese
 music 
happening 
in
 London
 right now.
From
 Bands
 to
 Djs
 and
 spanning
 many
 other
 art 
forms,
 O
 Baile
 is
 a
 new
 platform
 to
 explore
 exciting
 cultural 
manifestations.
 Although
 mainly
 showcasing
 emerging 
talent 
from
 Portugal it
 will 
also 
incorporate
 diverse 
multi‐national
 artists.
 Portuguese
 Fado
 and 
the 
success 
of 
more 
traditional
 artists
 like
 Marisa 
and
 Madredeus
 have 
exported 
Portuguese 
musical 
traditions 
with a 
contemporary 
twist. 
The
 breakthrough
 across 
the 
world 
o f
Buraka 
Som 
Sistema 
has 
given
 us 
a 
glimpse 
of 
what
 other 
talent 
is 
hiding 
in 
the 
underground
 scene
 in 
Lisbon
 and 
across 
the 
country.

 Bands 
like 
Gala
Drop 
and 
Octa
Push
 are 
starting
 to 
grab 
the
 attention
 of 
the 
British 
press
 and 
other 
acts 
from
 Buraka's 
own
 label
 Enchufada 
are 
ready 
for 
crossing 
over.

 O
 Baile
 will
 provide 
a 
platform
 to 
present 
talent 
from
 Portugal 
to 
a 
London 
audience.
 Live 
Music
 and 
Djs 
from
 Kuduro,
 Hip
 Hop, 
Fado, 
Electronica, 
House, 
Dubstep,
 Deconstructed 
Fado, 
Rock, 
Pop 
and 
anything 
else 
they 
fancy. 

Mixed 
with 
Food, 
Fashion,
 Art, 
Design, 
Grafitti 
and
 all 
things 
Portuguese.
