 CAMPO PEQUENO - BRIEF HISTORY
Lisbon's bullring was built between 1890 and 1892 as part of the project designed by the Portuguese architect António José Dias da Silva. His design was inspired by the bullring of Madrid, by Emilio Rodriguez Ayuso, later demolished. The style is the neo-Mudéjar, a Romantic style inspired by the old Arab architecture from Iberia. Lisbon's new bullring replaced the old one, located in the Campo de Santana.

Since then, OML has developed intensive activity throughout the year, including a symphonic repertoire, chamber music and solo recitals.

Camané is the leading male singer in the new generation of stylists in Portugal's native urban song, the Fado since his first album was released in 1995 and one of the few artists working in this very difficult area.
Camané is also one of the outstanding Portuguese singers of any generation. His voice is smooth and soulful. |
