It is hard to know where the story ends and the legend of Robert Johnson begins, the cursed bluesman who is said to have sold his soul to the devil at a dusty crossroads in Mississippi. The records (whether visual or phonographic) of his passage through this world can be counted on one's fingers. Twenty-seven years of existence summed up in a handful of studio recordings, which still echo today, eternal, in the grain of those records, in the voices and instruments of the devotees. Devotees like Tó Trips and Ray, who were challenged to reinterpret the repertoire of this restless soul by the organizers of the Coimbra em Blues festival. And who, on 6 November, will repeat the show at Casa Capitão. Tó Trips brings the mysticism of the desert, the acid distortion of his guitar strings echoing like a gunshot in the night, while Ray howls the lyrics, possessed. Unafraid to look the devil and death in the face. Like Robert Johnson before them. There is no seating, nor assigned seats, at Casa Capitão concerts. To guarantee a good position facing the stage, it is advisable to arrive early. And be ready to spend one or two hours standing.
