Café Concerto
Artist Residencies Showcases

The showcases of the artist residencies are one of the major original moments of Westway, as they reveal to the public the outcome of a unique creative process originating in Guimarães. After a week at the Candoso Creation Center – a time and space for total freedom in creation – the moment arrives to discover the final result of this highly artistic and cultural intersection. It is an incredible experience that takes place within the festival, which has already led to lasting connections that resulted in ongoing projects. With an inexhaustible and distinguishing energy generated by Westway in the LAB aspect, the showcases of the artist residencies are always truly surprising.

Fenne (NL)
FENNE (NL)

FENNE makes music for the hopeless romantic. Like diary entries, her lyrics encompass dreams and expectations, disappointments and desires. She invites you to embrace every part of yourself, no matter how mediocre that may be. Her sound is ever-expanding and experimenting, with lots of unexpected harmonies and memorable melodies. The deep grooves of the band will move your soul as well as your body. FENNE's last album, "Angel With A Darkness", has over 6 million streams. Her latest singles, marking a new era and sound, have each reached over a million streams. FENNE has played successful shows in Tivoli Vredenburg (sold out), Splendor Amsterdam (sold out), Laaktheater, The Hague and De Doelen, Rotterdam. She'll appear at the Grachtenfestival, Amsterdam, this year (2026).

Francisco Carneiro (PT)
Tomás e Francisco (PT)

Tomás Alvarenga and Francisco Carneiro have been collaborating for some time, notably in the band OCENPSIEA. They also work as a duo in the project called Synced Minds, where they explore sonic and aesthetic research on sensory overload and the fragmentation of attention in the contemporary world.

 

Tomás Alvarenga is a Portuguese musician and sound artist who stands out in the experimental music scene, exploring the realms of ambient and drone. His artistic identity departs from conventional structures to focus on creating immersive soundscapes, built through dense layers of synthesizers, digital manipulation, and granular textures. His work is an ongoing investigation into resonance and minimalism, resulting in ethereal compositions that stimulate the listener to a state of deep contemplation and an altered perception of time.

 

Francisco Carneiro, born in Braga, is a rising Portuguese musician, composer, and producer, focused on film, theatre, and dance. Trained in Violin at the Lisbon Higher School of Music and with a Master's degree in Film Composition from Codarts (Rotterdam), he works as a teacher and artist, exploring genres from classical to electronic music.
