And that's how the combo of DJ Quesadilla (a chef gilding rhythms and sautéing dance floors) and Tascá (intimate space known for its bohemian vibes and local poetry) cooked up one of the ...

XXXII. I went. I was there. - At the end of the festivities, only pigeons and nostalgia remain
Variety artist, creative mind, actor, approachable idol and now an expert dancer, Wandson Lisboa has been the true ambassador of the Azores-Maranhão transatlantic relations. The Azoreans took the Festas do Divino to Maranhão, Wandson brought the the power of friendship, first as part of Antena 3's entourage and now as a friend o...

XXXI. Euphemia - A woman in a suit and a man in an overcoat, that’s a display that will never get mold
The genealogical lineage of the art of Drag in the Azores is a line that is barely legible and very difficult to trace: Tia Maria do Nordeste is an absent relative, the subversion of gender roles is often a carnivalesque joke. That is why Valdemar Creator (from somewhere along Ribeira Grande, during the day)/Valley Dation (from ...

XXX. Iron plates - It is not the forge that makes the blacksmith
Nuno Gervásio is an example of mastery in the art of digital content and phone photography. But even the most skilled master is bound to one day find a suitable opponent. In this case, the hyperactivity of the festival combined with the photogenic nature of the island itself meant that Gervásio came to the Azores prepared to tes...

XXIX. Electro, cardio, gram - A heart in love has no need for a watch
The work of a stage manager is always hard, but everyone who does it at Tremor should be decorated at Palácio de Santana. From concerts right next to waterfalls, to rain every other hour and having to assemble instruments apparently forged in strange worlds, it’s one big itch for a person to scratch. Giving us a peek behind the ...

XXVIII. The godfather - A small fish can feed many mouths
Competing with Filipe Caetano and Rui Rofino for the position of veteran with more editions of Tremor in his pocket, Cristóvão Ferreira is already the grand piano of the house when it comes to festival residencies. In addition to a concert that made the ceiling collapse at Arco 8, Cristóvão chose the opening concert of Tremor 20...

XXVII. Trout Farming - Escabeche on an island is a waste of good vinegar and fresh sardines
Ricardo Martins is from Lisbon but at this point, he might as well have learned how to play the drums on fish barrels in São Roque. After coming to play solo (Tremor 2016), with Filho da Mãe (Tremor 2016) and as part of the Pop Dell'arte entourage (Tremor 2018), in 2021 he locked himself up in Ribeira Grande, together with Filho...

XXVI. Giving music to the dragon tree - If you want the view, you must weather the storm
Unwitting as to what sins they might be atoning for, the pilgrimages that the people from Antena 3 take around the island of São Miguel are always painful. Despite that, the fact that their Master Pilgrim is from São Miguel and already seasoned in the field (radio broadcaster Tiago Ribeiro, of course), makes the journey little l...

XXV. 6000 days in 14 hours - You can’t be afraid of flying if you want to taste the sky
For people who have yet to experience Tremor and are considering dipping their toe in the festival, the first question to leave their mouth is: “Is it true that you went to see a concert on another island?”. Not only is this true, but the aforementioned concert was a concert by the shamans of Brazilian tropic-neo-psychedelic, Bo...

XXIV. All Hail Our Gracious Hosts! - If you want limpets for dinner, you must get your feet wet
A mere amount of 15 minutes is what stopped the ¾ Hostel from hosting Tremor’s #1 opening event (the first concert in the festival's history was Jiboia da Mãe, at Galeria Fonseca Macedo, and, right after, we had Gonçalo playing right across the street). However, ¾ (which is now a coffeeshop) has become a sort of Tremor headquart...

XXIII. Beak>-ed - One rotten apple means nothing to a blooming orchard
Despite having already been pointed out as the programmer with the best “poker face”, there is photographic evidence of the almost-exact moment when Márcio Laranjeira discovered that Beak>, one of the most coveted headliners of Tremor 2017, would not be coming to the festival. So, in order to let you draw your own conclusions...

XXII. Via Ferrata in Ferraria - Nothing’s heavier than the weight of one’s own frown
The doors to the paradise that is Ferraria do not open just for anyone. They open to anyone brave enough to drive a 45-degree turn towards the rocky cliffside. If doing that in a simple car is already enough to make anyone sweat through their moustache, then the task of coordinating a bus full of festivalgoers could only fall in...

XXI. Inter-island Maglev - One eye on the mouse, the other on the hawk
Tremor's Swiss army knife, Gui Garrido, clearly didn’t know what he was signing up for when he agreed to play as Bandido e o Coração Pirata, in the 2015 edition of the festival. After this concert (which joined the pantheon of “musical projects that practically only ever performed one concert in their lives and it was at Tremor”...

XX. Quelled - Making marmalade
By the end of March and with Tremor over, there is a change of foliage across the Azorean-adjacent social media. The profile pictures become pictures of hugs, beers in hands, people having a good time by waterfalls, people enjoying concerts, people having fun with each other. This kind of collective photo-phenomenon is only poss...

XIX. S.C. Corinthians-Candelária - As the Peruvians say: if you don't have limes, make ceviche with lemon
Look at him then and look at him now. From a personified seismograph on duty carrying cameras heavier than he is, to shouldering the toughest man on the south coast in one of the toughest concerts in the festival's history, Diogo Lima (Lima_Master_9000 for the fans) changes weight categories like a champ. In 2019, he added "hype...

XVIII. Purslane - In a safe harbor, even the shearwaters’ song is a lullaby
Considering the fact that she is the host of a literature program on the radio (O Fim dos Princípios), it comes as no surprise to suspect a certain poetic bias in the way Helena Barros retells memories of the festival. Although she was part of Tremor’s media team in 2015, her most cherished memory still comes from her days as a ...

XVII. Whippersnapper - Fanfares do not frighten a trumpeter’s daughter
While “senior” festivalgoers sleep and recover from the night before, an underworld of concerts, performances and workshops aimed at children take place during the mornings of the festival. To present us with some morning memories of Tremor, André Menezes Melo (member of Dú-Dé-DU, founder of Musiquim, production director of Estú...

XVI. Coasting - All Admirals know how to polish a deck
Half of BANDIDO$, box office cornerstone, dedicated cyclist, and director of the best documentary on “businesses to manufacture soy ice cream started by nonagenarians from Faial”, Bruno Sousa (ticket office coordinator in 2016, 2018 and 2019), demonstrates with these two stories that cultivating versatility in various trades is ...

XV- Sampling Terns - It's a holy day at the farm whenever the farmer's out
The wind turbines in Graminhais, the Marconi antenna, the Space Station in Santa Maria, and the PMDS electronics (the duo Filipe Caetano and Pedro Sousa), complement each other to give the Azores a dystopian eco-futuristic scenario. And it is precisely a dystopian feeling that Filipe Caetano, who told us these episodes, craves: ...

XIV. Azorina vidalii- Only that which is played on earth can be heard in heaven
With an initial purpose of re-inhabiting some forgotten spaces in Ponta Delgada, Tremor remains faithful to its mission of re-contextualizing and reviving places, sounds, bands and, in this story’s case, the memory of loved ones. Known by some as a father, husband, brother-in-law, friend, actor, and teacher, and remembered by al...

XIII. Santa Clara Dreams - Sore-throated kids don't always deserve ice cream
For many years considered a true cultural oasis on the island, inside an old fishermen’s shack, Arco 8, in Santa Clara, has always been a safe haven to escape from another night listening to covers of “Alive” by Pearl Jam in Ponta Delgada. That being said, it has been the perfect place to host a load of Tremor concerts. Headed b...

XII. Corroborating Daniel de Sá - Writing about the island is the best way of staying on it
As dictated by geophysics, the effects of aftershocks from an earthquake are, in most cases, unpredictable. And, doing justice to this analogy, André Belchior Sousa could hardly have predicted that Tremor would be at the epicenter of his master's thesis, meritoriously defended in 2017, at the Faculty of Letters of the University...
