A witchy mixtape to sell your soul to the devil to
Friday, 13 January 2023
As we write this, the streets of Montalegre, in northern Portugal, are starting to fill up with a curious crowd. The central square of the remote medieval town of less than 2,000 comes alive with simmering cauldrons, wenches with snakes coiled around their necks, folks of all ages wearing black hats and cowls, in a joyous hymn to witchcraft. Today is Friday the 13th — and Friday the 13th in Montalegre is synonymous with Witches’ Night.
Witches get a bad rap, but if you’ve ever danced naked in the pale moonlight, you know they can throw a mean party. Maybe it’s the selling-your-soul-to-the-devil bit that is making you squeamish, but what have you been doing with your soul anyway?

About the Curators
Nuno Nogueira
Born in Porto, Portugal, I'm an architect, a designer, a writer, a poet, a translator, etc. I have an eclectic taste in music—but less in that non-committal way people sometimes say "I have an eclectic taste in music" and more in that I'm really into some really weird stuff.
Jane Asylum
I’ve set-off around the world a few times as a digital nomad. My favorite places are off-the-beaten-path spaces. I enjoy good food, although I’m a sucker for trying anything once. Discovering new music and artists is a passion, but I adore retro tracks and nostalgic songs. Whether fueled by imagination, or anchored in the real world, I live for adventure, especially when set to the beat of diverse and eclectic playlists.
Ready. Set. Join me on a sonic adventure!
