"Latada 2024" Serenade welcomes new students
The "Festa das Latas" and Imposition of Insignia runs until 6 October.
On the night of 1st to 2nd October, after the striking of twelve chimes, silence will fall over Sé Nova Square in Coimbra. Three groups from the Fado Section of the Associação Académica de Coimbra (AAC) will perform this year's set list. "It is always an honour and a great joy to perform at the Festa das Latas and Imposição de Insígnias Serenade," says Diogo Ferreira, president of AAC's Fado Section.
The Serenade is one of the highlights of Latada, and the Fado Section is committed, as always, to delivering an excellent performance on the steps of Sé Nova. Diogo Ferreira assures that "all the groups that join the Fado Section and take part in a performance like this [Serenade] undergo a whole process of monitoring and in-house evaluation to guarantee the quality of the event."
The president of AAC’s Fado Section hopes to "inspire new students to join the Fado Section." Ferreira adds, "It's definitely worth getting involved in the academic culture and giving a bit of yourself to the community."
