Toponímia Musical, Rua Domingos Bomtempo

Still in Alvalade, but now in a different neighbourhood, in this episode we’ll walk down João Domingos Bomtempo Street, a fantastic pianist and composer, and learn a little about his troubled life, marked by the turbulent political events of the early 19th century. We learn about his involvement with liberal causes and take the opportunity to listen to some of the best music written in Portuguese romanticism.
