MIA 2017
MIA 2017－Encontro de Música Improvisada de Atouguia da Baleia, the 8th edition of the festival, is gathering about 80 musicians of 16 countries. It happens annually at a tiny little village called Atouguia da Baleia in Portugal.
Rui Eduardo Paes from Jazz.pt explains it very well here:
O MIA – Encontro de Música Improvisada de Atouguia da Baleia vai decorrer entre os próximos dias 11 e 14 de Maio, em vários pontos da vila de Atouguia da Baleia, no concelho de Peniche. O também conhecido como “congresso da improvisação” terá este ano a participação de cerca de 80 improvisadores de 16 países…

Keeping the record…
Inspired by last year’s Post-MIA jam, Carlo Mascolo, Maria do Mar and I proposed Desterro to repeat it once more. If we do it again for one or two more years, it will inevitably become a tradition: the Post-MIA Jam Session in Lisbon, featuring the MIA participants that were still around and every Lisbon based musician that wants to join.
We were worried about the neighbours and suggested to the musicians to control their volume and keep the music below mezzo-forte dynamics, and it worked amazingly well: helped to maintain conscious playing the whole night, and the music did not stop until about 4am.
