This performance also marks the 20th anniversary of the radio program BLUESmente Falando, a unique show dedicated to promoting the Blues genre in Portugal. Initially broadcast for one hour weekly, it has grown in popularity, leading to an increase in airtime to four hours each week due to listener demand.
