CAFÉ CONCERTO
Artist Residencies Showcases

The artistic residency show - cases are Westway LAB’s great inaugural event, because they reveal to the general public the result of a unique creation process developed during one week in Guimarães, in the Candoso Creation Centre. These encounters have only one rule - the musicians must produce content for a performance that lasts 30 minutes or more. Everything else results from free creative decisions taken by the artists involved. The presenta - tions take place on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at the CCVF’s Café Concerto, with free access and usually play to a packed audience. Another characteristic of the residency showcases is the community atmosphere formed by the close proximity between the musicians and the general public, as if they were all part of one big family. With concrete results that have inspired further editions, these showcases are always very surprising in terms of artistic experimentation.

Catharina Boutari aka Puder
Catharina Boutari aka Puder

Catharina Boutari aka Puder is a musician, producer and opera director from Hamburg, Germany. She runs her own feminist record label, Pussy Empire Recordings. Born in Austria, Boutari combines diverse identities with a self-possessed verve, a skill she learned from her Egyptian father and German mother.


As Puder she produces current international pop in a new way by defying the norms of traditional music recording processes and eschewing conventions. Since 2016, Catharina has been collaborating for her albums with musicians from Germany and abroad to write songs in 10-day sessions, record them live in the studio, with guests in the recording room, and accompany them with a film documentary.


Following her 2020 album "Session Tapes 4 + 5 - Tomorrowland mit Freunden" (Netherlands/Germany), Puder launched four digital/analog Europe songwritings with livestreams in 2021 and released the singles: Tunnels (UK with Jules Maxwell/Dead Can Dance), Spices (Bosnia/Germany), Airplane Dreams (Poland) and Let Us Talk (Iran). Furthermore she is a guest at the European project "European Ghosts“ performing too at Westway Lab.
