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.

Malinwa (PT)
Malinwa

Malinwa is the path of liberation and meditative expansion of Hugo Santos, a native of Leiria, who delves into the depths of the genesis and emotions of the human being.

In 2022, inspired by indie and shoegaze sounds, he debuted as a songwriter and performer with the album 1997, whose single "Aquário" was part of the FNAC New Talents '22 compilation. The most recent album, Linha do Oeste, reflects on the author's last few years, addressing themes such as compassion, unity, and love, while also offering a perspective on the current way of life in society. Malinwa writes timeless songs and reminds us that despite the imperfection of humanity, it is still possible to find mystical beauty in the dimension that drives us.

In 2025, Malinwa presents himself solo and navigates a hypnotic atmosphere that gives the audience a voice led by a bass that emphasizes immersive soundscapes.

Catuxa Salom (ES)
Catuxa Salom
