My Name is Alfredo Costa and I´m Fucking Excited!

Hi, guys!

This is my first entry to Steem It and I must say... after 3 weeks waiting for the confirmation, it was about time!

Let´s talk about music, cats, dogs and bunnies, shall we?

My name is Alfredo Costa, I live in Portugal and I´m a portuguese/capeverdian musician. Also, and proudly, one of the latest Open Mic winners. I´m the singer of Matryoshka, @pedromrmourato is the guitar player. This was our first entry for OpenMic which granted us the first place. Awesome start, no?

These are the last entries. Beatles´s "Eleanor Rigby". One of our favourite renditions. The feedback we´re getting couldn´t be better and we feel that people are really enjoying and gathering around our music.

And then we decided to play a portuguese song (our own language) while paying tribute to one of the best bands here in Portugal. Amor Electro´s "Rosa Sangue". Pedro (@pedromrmourato) chose to use his acoustic guitar, instead of the electric, which I believe really made the song travel to a very special place.

In 2014 I started in the portuguese "The Voice". Choosen from 10.000, I got to the finals, ending in the last 8.

This was my blind audition. It was quite an honour to turn all the chairs.

Well, moving on. I think my relationship with music started a long time ago. Can´t really say when. But as far as I can remember there was always music around me. My mother was absolutely passionate about "Fado", a very portuguese kind of music, related to a very portuguese word/feeling called "saudade". Saudade means, moreless, "longing". So, the music Is trully deep and emotional, while the lyrics (made by the finest poets of our history) are just breathtaking.

As a composer, I have a band, called Skills And The Bunny Crew! People say we sound like a dope marriage between RATM, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Incubus.

My dog and cats, by the way. You will probably see them more often as they enjoy to be part of whatever I´m doing.

Hey mate!

I'm establishing a base here in Lisbon, Portugal for Steemians to gather and work together on projects!

We have a co-working space and are in the process of setting up a brokerage for Steemians to come and redeem their steem for euro.

Let's grab a coffee @theblockcafe sometime! 😁

Hey, @bluabaleno, that´s sounds very interesting.
Do you have a site so I can check for some more info?

Hey @alfredocosta! We do no have a site right now but we are hosting an event next week Wednesday, March 15 @theblockcafe.

The event is for those who are looking to register or just getting started on the Steem platform. It is part two of a two part series.

A written summary of part one can be found here: https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@bluabaleno/steem-content-in-cash-out-part-one

Here is the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/176538756403122/

The second part will be about claiming, and using your rewards.
It'll go into what Steem, Steem Backed Dollars, and Steem Power is but also where and how you can exchange your Steem for Euros or spend it for goods and services.

Let me know if you can make it! :D

we have meetup page too now!
