Omiri is one of the most original projects to reinvent Portuguese music.
To reinvent tradition, nothing better than bringing the real players of Portuguese culture to the show itself; musicians and soundscapes from all over Portugal playing and singing as if they were part of the same universe. Not in flesh and blood but in sound and image, with video field recordings manipulated in order to serve as a musical base for Vasco Ribeiro Casais's composition and improvisation.
Omiri is, above all, remix, the culture of the 21st century, mixing in one show already forgotten musical practices, making them permeable and accessible to the culture of our day, synchronising forms and music of Portuguese rural tradition with the language of the urban culture.
In the last years Omiri has established itself as one of Portugal most international musical projects, taking Portuguese culture to the four corners of the world and performing in major national and international festivals such as Womex (FI), Reepperbahn (DE), Eurosonic (NL), Rudolstadt(DE), Kaustinen (FI), Viljandi (EE), Colours of Ostrava (Cz), Dranouter (BE), Live at Heart (SE), Exib-Music (PT), Iminente (PT), WestWay Lab (PT), Med (PT), Artes à Rua (PT), among many others.
The album "Baile Electrónico" was on top 3 in World Music Charts Europe (September 2017).
In 2020 was awarded the Inatel Price in Iberian Festival Awards.
