If there is another characteristic that unites all Azoreans, it is the complete disdain for the question: “So, how is the Azores Island doing?”. Although we cannot excuse this archipelagic dyslexia when it comes out of the mouth of someone from the mainland, from Barcelos, for example, motherland to Joaquim Durães (co-founder and programmer of the festival who told us this story), we are immeasurably more understanding towards "vulvo~centric" bands from São Paulo, as they are much busier fighting for feminist, intersectional and hedonistic rights than memorizing island geography. Anticipating the outcome of the story, Teto Preto, to our great happiness, ended up playing at Teatro Ribeiragrandense (2019).

«The 2019 edition of Tremor was traumatizing, because our headliner, the island itself, has its diva moments. Weather conditions were unmanageable. We were at the mercy of the weather for the flights to arrive, so we had to deal with a series of delays and cancellations. That year, Teto Preto managed to travel, but the flight had to be diverted and they landed on the island Terceira. And as soon as they landed, they called to ask for a van to pick them up and take them to Ponta Delgada. It was one of the easiest replies ever: we just sent a Google Maps screenshot explaining why that wasn't going to be possible. They would have to wait for another plane to arrive.”
