This summer, the renowned Portuguese-speaking duo Calema delivered a spectacular performance at Lisbon’s Estádio da Luz, marking a significant milestone in their celebrated 15 Years tour. Known for their vibrant rhythms and uplifting melodies, the brothers António and Fradique Mendes Ferreira have made waves in the music scene, both in their native São Tomé and Príncipe and beyond. Their name, which beautifully translates to “special wave,” reflects not only their musical journey but also the rich cultural heritage of their island home.
To ensure their grand finale was nothing short of extraordinary, Calema enlisted the expertise of Auditiv Audiovisuals and the state-of-the-art sound technology from DiGiCo. With two DiGiCo Quantum 338 consoles at the front of house and two DiGiCo SD5s for monitoring, the team achieved a fully redundant sound system, ensuring the concert went off without a hitch. “The Calema concert was a true spectacle,” stated João Escada, co-owner of Auditiv Audiovisuals. “We wanted to provide the most robust system possible, and our careful planning paid off.”
Sound engineers like Escada and his colleague Tiago Mendes played a pivotal role in optimizing the concert’s audio experience. The pair utilized advanced audio loops and splitters to ensure seamless performance throughout the night. The audience was treated to crystal-clear sound that amplified the duo’s emotive hits, reinforcing why Calema has captured the hearts of fans globally.
Auditiv Audiovisuals has built a reputation over 25 years for delivering exceptional sound solutions for live concerts, television productions, and studio recordings. Their longstanding relationship with DiGiCo technology has been integral to their success, enabling them to tackle high-pressure live events with confidence. “We pride ourselves on having a strong and flexible system,” shared Escada. “For large-scale performances, flawless sound is a priority, and DiGiCo helps us achieve that every time.”
As Calema embarks on their Voyage Tour, set to kick off this autumn in London at The O2, fans worldwide can expect more of the high-energy performances that have defined their career. Their innovative spirit, combined with cutting-edge technology, promises a concert experience that will resonate far beyond the stage.
This latest achievement is a testament not only to the band’s trajectory but also to the advancements in live sound technology that enhance the connection between artists and their audiences. With more exciting performances on the horizon, Calema continues to ride the wave of success, bringing their remarkable sound and cultural heritage to the forefront.
