Oporto is a beautiful city in Portugal, just on 314km north of Lisabon and 304km south of La Coruna Spain. This city gave its name not only to port wine, but also to Portugal and its language. Oporto’s most interesting neighborhood is Ribeira. The narrow streets and balconied houses evoke Lisbon’s Alfama, though the quarter has its own distinctive character. Ribeira preserves the timeless quality of many of the old buildings and cobbled streets lining the riverbank. 

Many travellers said that Oporto is an industrial city with some spectacular bridges, but there’s much to enjoy here. As the provincial capital and university seat, Oporto has its own artistic treasures.

The heart of Oporto is Avenida dos Aliados, with its parklike center where families sometimes go for a stroll. It’s bounded on the south by Praça do General Humberto Delgado. Two major shopping streets lie on Praça de Liberdade: Rua dos Clérigos and Rua 31 de Janeiro. Rua Clérigos leads to the landmark Torre dos Clérigos, which some consider the symbol of Porto.

Oporto is also well serviced by a network of buses, trolleys, and trams.If you plan extensive touring in the area, a Passe Turí­stico is a good deal.

MU is a Portuguese band that began its musical route in 2003. Searching for fusion and experimentation within the traditional music, this group is distinguishing with many music styles. With MU you can travel to several different cultures and traditional/fusion sounds. Its members play various instruments from all over the world. India, Switzerland, Egypt, Brazil, Morocco, Australia, among others, are the regions from where the instruments of MU come from. This instrument diversity brings this group to a travel between a lost world and actuality, which allows it to rescue beautiful sounds from these ancient worlds.

Between flying dances, feminine voices and diverse instruments, MU's alive show is a moment of contagious enjoyment, moment where the energy flies throughout the air and rushes the body to dance in a limitless world.

MU has already two records: Mundanзas (2005) and Casanostra (2008). Since 2003, this group participated in several Portuguese festivals and also win the contest Arribas Folk. Among others, we point: Sons do Atlвntico, Boom Festival, Portugal a Rufar, Interceltic Festival of Oporto, Andanзas Festival and Interceltic Festival of Sendim. Outside of Portugal, a MU stand out it's partaking in festivals all around Spain (Danzas Sin Fronteras, Festigal Festival, Festival Folk Plasencia, Festival La Carlota and Festival Galdames Folk). Besides that, in 2008 MU went to a world music festival in Croatia, the Zgetno Festival and in Bucareste, Romania.
