130 years TAUC – Tuna Académica Univ. Coimbra

Opening speech, March 14, 2018: /pedrocamacho/apresentacao-tauc-130-anos

Pedro wrote an original work that was premiered in the official 130 years celebration of the most prestigious university student musical group in Portugal, Tuna Académica da Universidade de Coimbra.
You can hear this track either in Pedro’s official youtube channel or in TAUC’s official youtube channel.

Pedro wrote also wrote this short text as intro to the music in the world premiere:
EN: “I wrote for Coimbra and its TAUC as I would for my dear love, as I would to someone who I couldn’t possibly live without knowing I could speak to whenever I wanted, someone whose sole existence, by itself, would make me feel more complete.
Life took me to many places but the ones who really matter have always been here inside.
There is an ocean between us but, Coimbra, you are and will always be in my heart.”

PT: “Escrevi para Coimbra e sua Tuna Académica tal como escreveria para um grande amor meu,
como para alguém que jamais pudesse viver sem saber que pudesse conversar sempre que as saudades me pregassem uma partida, alguém cuja existência, por si só, me fizesse sentir mais completo.
A vida leva-nos para onde tem de nos levar mas quem é de facto importante vai sempre connosco.
A nos separar existe um oceano mas Coimbra, estás e estarás sempre no meu coração.”
