Jam Session Details
Every Thursday from 19:00 to 23:00, Casa Mocambo hosts an Acoustic Folk Open Jam Session that blends Lisbon’s local talent with a deep appreciation for Lusophone culture. Located in the historic Santa Apolónia area, this venue is an African restaurant and cultural space that treats music as a communal “meal.” Organizers John D’Brava and Rui Nobre lead an inclusive session where the focus is on raw, organic sounds and creative togetherness. Listed with an “Acoustic Folk Open” style, it is a welcoming environment for musicians who enjoy storytelling through song and unplugged collaboration.
For users of jamsessions.pt, Casa Mocambo offers a unique “boteco” atmosphere where the lines between the kitchen and the stage often disappear. The session is known for its “improvisation of joy,” making it a perfect spot for those who prefer a cozy, neighborhood feel over a loud club setting. Whether you are there to play or simply to enjoy the vibes with a bowl of their signature cachupa, this weekly event is a staple for anyone looking to experience the soulful, diverse side of Lisbon’s acoustic music scene.
