Rita Maia — the Lisborn-born, London-based DJ, film maker and radio broadcaster — has her finger firmly on the pulse in her home town. As well as presenting regular shows on both Resonance FM and Portugal's own Oxigenio, Rita has been focusing on documenting the story of the unique music coming out of the capital city's suburbs.
Ahead of next week's big Ballantine's showdown, Maia has arranged an evening engulfed by local talent. Expect dancing and good vibes.
