Z2B is a program born out of a collaboration between Antena 2 and Galeria Zé dos Bois, dedicated to broadcasting recent concerts presented at ZDB venues, especially those of the so-called new improvised music – a category based more on the exclusion of the canonical genres of classical, folk, pop/rock, or jazz music than on the certainty of what improvisation, experimentation, sound design, or the art of noise actually are.
Alongside the concerts, during the three hours of the Z2B broadcast, we will also have the opportunity to exchange a few words with the musicians, visit the exhibitions, installations, and performances in the Bairro Alto and Marvila venues, and, in some rare fallow month, access the ZDB archives where many of the records that have marked the national scene in recent decades are kept.
Finally, this is a program that takes advantage of the cutting-edge technology installed in bovine horns, bringing the best national products with controlled designation of origin to new pastures, thus disproving the popular expression ‘a bird in the hand is worth two oxen in the bush’. As you can see, it is also a cornucopia of puns for quiet evenings.
