This exhibition explores the role that the Mundo da Canção (MC) project/magazine played in the education of so many teenagers and young adults, now septuagenarians or older. MC is much more than a music magazine that organised concerts, gatherings and festivals, because beyond this "material" component there is a whole intangible heritage that acted on the more intangible dimensions of political and social action.

On 19 December 1969, the first issue of O Mundo de Canção (MC) came out, founded by Avelino Tavares (who died on 24 September 2023) with the cover dedicated to Father Francisco Fanhais. In the editorial, he outlines the intentions of the project, which turned out to be polyphonic, multivariate and committed to the cause of freedom. (...)The aim of this exhibition is to publicise MC's place in the history of the April Revolution. It will also be an opportunity to honour Avelino Tavares, who accompanied the development of this project but was unfortunately unable to live it. Memory is a way of life and we are here to record and publicise it
