Alpha Blondy — Monsantos Open Air, Lisbon, 2026

This full concert features Alpha Blondy performing live at Monsantos Open Air, an outdoor stage set within the Monsanto forest park in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2026. Born in Dimbokro, the Ivorian singer is one of the leading figures of African and global reggae since the 1980s. Singing in French, English, Dioula, Arabic and Hebrew, he carries a message of peace, unity and social justice that built his international reputation. This Lisbon concert was part of the summer program at Monsantos Open Air; the date, initially planned for the summer of 2025, had been postponed due to preventive measures linked to wildfire risk in Portuguese forest areas, before finally being performed. Backed by his band, the artist delivers a performance rooted in roots reggae, driven by deep bass lines, horns and backing vocals. Filmed in 4K, this live concert documents Alpha Blondy’s European tour and offers the chance to experience, live, one of reggae’s most enduring ambassadors, whose career spans more than four decades and continues to reach audiences across Africa, Europe and beyond with its distinctive spiritual and political voice.
