VEIGA, Mafalda

Mafalda Veiga is a musician whose songwriting process involves imagining specific contexts and places. Her song "De Fio a Pavio" was written with the imagery of a nocturnal café, filled with intimate lighting and music conducive to conversation and shared moments. The song reflects her love for people, both known and unknown, and aims for simple, profound expressions of love.

Veiga's work has also been influenced by cinema, a dimension she finds fascinating. She notes the 20th anniversary of the video for her song "Uma Gota," which was directed by Nuno Garcia and featured actors Sofia Froes and Pedro Granger. For the "De Fio a Pavio" music video, she collaborated with filmmaker David Bonneville and editor Tomás Baltazar, writing the screenplay herself. The video features returning actors Sofia Froes and Pedro Granger, alongside new talent, and includes her son and friends from the music, literature, and film worlds. The video was filmed in a Lisbon warehouse adorned with the word "CINEMA" in neon letters.
