Every July, the historic and stunning city of Sines in Portugal hosts the Festival Músicas do Mundo (FMM Sines), an outdoor music festival organized by its City Council. With "Music with a spirit of adventure" as its mission statement, this event takes place near a breathtakingly beautiful coast surrounded by protected landscapes. A true embodiment of cultural exploration, FMM Sines promises to offer visitors unforgettable experiences!
Since 1999, the Sines Castle Festival has been dedicated to showcasing the diversity of music genres worldwide, focusing on honoring Vasco da Gama's legacy. This festival continues to expand beyond its original physical boundaries and remains firmly rooted in cultivating an ethos of exploration and discovery.
FMM combines folk, jazz, alternative music, fusion, and urban genres to explore the depths of world music. It is more than a music festival; it explores contemporary world sound—a combination of performers from different cultures brought together by the constant fluctuations in ideas that define today. FMM Sines strives to uncover these contemporary connections between people across geography through its celebration of real-world melodies.
