A Personal Invitation

"Apuamá", a Tupi-Guarani word for the thing that has no fixed home.

Also the name of the album

Guys, this is a personal invitation. I have had the honor to guide you through the magic that yoga practices, breath work and meditation promote, and sometimes we have the luxury to enjoy some music too! This is the kind of music that runs in our family, and Matu Miranda's musicianship runs deep. I would love for you to meet him, enjoy his music, and share this unique, intimate opportunity to feel light and profoundly inspired.

Bookstor Café is opening its doors once again to make this closer encounter possible: one guitar, one voice, and a small, quiet space standing in for a stage. It's the format built for an album about impermanence: nothing fixed, nothing between you and it.

How the Night Moves

Four movements, in one small room.

01
Doors, and a glass in hand
The room opens as itself, a café, a bookshop, chairs arranged close. No rush to sit down.
20:00
02
Songs & stories
Matu talks between songs, about the roads behind APUAMA, and what it means to write from a life with no fixed home.
In the set
03
Voice & guitar, unplugged
Brazilian musicality, improvisation, harmonic sophistication: arrangements built to breathe and shift in the moment, not to repeat the record.
Live & loose
04
Surprise guests
Every stop on this tour has had at least one moment nobody planned for. Third tour, still true.
Maybe tonight

The Artist & The Album

Matu Miranda: Brazilian singer, songwriter, and his second album.

Matu Miranda returns to Europe for his third tour, presenting songs from his new album alongside reinterpretations of Brazilian classics. APUAMA, “that which has no fixed home”, is his second record, shaped by a life of impermanence and constant movement.

Absence and longing have always been part of his journey: these songs come from the desire to transform pain into movement.

Blending Brazilian musicality, improvisation, and harmonic sophistication, Matu's performances are built around voice and guitar, letting the arrangements breathe and evolve in the moment. Every show celebrates the live encounter, with the chance of a surprise guest along the way.

Plan Your Evening

The shape of the two hours.

Tap a moment to see what it holds. Nothing here is a strict cue sheet: the room and the songs decide the pace.

20:00 · Doors & welcome Find a seat among the shelves, get a drink, settle in, no formal seating chart, just get close.
The Ticket

One room. One guitar. Limited chairs.

Bookstor Café isn't built to hold a crowd, that's the point. One ticket type, one price, and once the chairs are gone, they're gone.

  • Entry to the full performance, Sat Sep 26, 20:00 to 22:00
  • A seat in the room: Bookstor Café, Noordeinde 39, The Hague
  • Songs from APUAMA, reinterpreted Brazilian classics, and whatever else the night brings

Saturday, September 26th

Come sit close. APUAMA doesn't need a stage.

Forty chairs, a bookshop café, and a Brazilian songwriter on his third tour of Europe. That's the whole show.
