Deus Só is a visual concert by Sara Ribeiro aka La Negra in collaboration with artisan and sculptor M.R.Fialho. The show celebrates and previews exclusively at the Temps D’Images Festival the album Deus Só, due for release at the end of 2024. La Negra returns to music with a set of original songs, alongside the extraordinary Ricardo Martins and Alexandre Bernardo, who, as well as being musicians, also take on the musical direction of the project. Deus Só is a concert and a visual journey invented from the idea of a Solitary Goddess. A mirror and an inspiration of the force of a spirit with an infinite and creative nature that preserves all Life and the Universe, and destroys everything. Based on these two forces – Creator and Destroyer – Sara Ribeiro, Alexandre Bernardo and Ricardo Martins compose a series of themes with chilling depth and relevance. Deus Só can be defined as a unique fresco, a disc and a show where lyricism and poetry are overwhelming. The music moves between cosmic pop, pop-rock, lyricism and poetry of guerrilla warfare and ascension, imbued with a powerful, chameleon-like feminine energy.

Sara Ribeiro
Sara Ribeiro was born on 5 November 1986 in Lisbon. The daughter of a painter father and a courageous mother, her work and life are intertwined with the performing arts, the visual arts, music and poetry. A path built on risk, intensity and the beauty of the encounter with the public.

Ricardo Martins
Ricardo Martins has also sought new paths for his music in theatre, with the Silvar Project (where he composes for large groups) and as a solo artist. In music, he’s been in bands such as Lobster, Adorno, I Had Plans, or his collaboration with Filho da Mãe. At the moment he has the keys to the rhythm of Pop Dell’Arte, Jibóia, Papaya, Chão Maior, AlgumaCena, the duo with Leonor Arnaut, the fresh Fumo Ninja and a handful of other projects. He is one of Portugal’s busiest and most cherished drummers.

Alexandre Bernardo

An explorer of sounds in Laia, Urge and Ligadura, he is strongly inspired by the harmonic richness of MPB in all his projects, which has led him to be one of the most sought-after guitarists for a number of Brazilian artists performing in Portugal, such as Mallu Magalhães, Banda do Mar, Cícero, etc. He is a member of Los Negros and of the Portuguese popular music band Criatura.
