JOURNAL #17 The ‘Present’ moment is the most precious

The ‘Present’ moment is the most precious because it is in it that we live, and it is from it that an infinity of possibilities opens up.

At the Open House - Harvest Party, we celebrate the harvest of each day, and since it's time to celebrate, let's do it with all the sparkle. That's why we invited Best Youth to join us, the Indie Pop duo from Porto, formed by Ed Rocha Gonçalves and Catarina Salinas, who released a new album this year called EVERYWHEN.

The threshing ground at Morgado do Quintão has been the stage for unforgettable concerts, and this year, the captivating and magnetic voice of Kate, accompanied by the modern and nostalgic elements of Ed's guitars, will make us shiver, dance, and toast.

When we asked them for a song to celebrate, the recommendation was obvious – "Out of Time," the song that opens the new album, a song about living in the moment and not putting off for tomorrow what we can do today, they explained. The fact that we can share our music and that there are people who want to listen to it and live the songs with us at a concert is something we never take for granted and should always be celebrated, they added.

Every sunset we admire at MdQ brings the certainty that the days to come will reflect the work done. September and October have a different light and a different rhythm, ideal for tidying up "the house" and preparing for new harvests and challenges. But in the meantime, let's have a party in good company – on October 5th with Best Youth, join us.
