MUMA returns to Faial with two days dedicated to music and contemporary creation

Faial is getting ready to welcome another edition of MUMA – Murmúrios da Maré, a festival organized by Associação Música Vadia, which once again energizes the island’s cultural scene on 14 and 15 November, at the Old Volunteer Firefighters’ Headquarters in Horta. The event continues to establish itself as a space for encounter, experimentation and celebration of contemporary music produced in the Azores and beyond.

The programme begins on 14 November, at 9:30 p.m., with the fourth chapter of “Murmurinho – Who Was It That Blew?”, a project that explores soundscapes and narratives in a performative format.

The second day, 15 November, brings the festival’s most vibrant moment, with performances that promise to turn the old fire station into a hub of musical effervescence. The night starts at 10:30 p.m. with Xexa, followed by Fidju Kitxora at midnight. The party continues with a B2B DJ set by Tocha Dábaile & Raiospartam, keeping the energy high until late.

MUMA maintains a strong community identity, combining artistic creativity with the involvement of local partners and the support of regional entities. The 2025 edition strengthens the festival’s role as a cultural catalyst on Faial, highlighting emerging artistic production and collaboration within the island.

Tickets for both nights are available at the ticket office of the Horta Municipal Market. When purchased before the day of the event, prices are €5 for the first night, €8 for the second, or €10 for a full festival pass. On the event days, tickets will be sold at the door with an additional €2 charge. Young people up to 18 years old have free entry to the Murmurinho performance and benefit from a 50 percent discount on tickets for 15 November.

The public is invited to take part, discover new sounds and enjoy two immersive days dedicated to music and contemporary creation. Entry is free for the Murmurinho event, in line with the ticket policy above.
