Following 'Ecoando', a performance he created with Ryoko Sekiguchi for CAM’s Opening Party, Samon Takahashi will embark the audience in a frantic DJ Set.

Takahashi draws from his personal library of iconic music from Japan, starting from the 50’s, to fill the new extension of the Gulbenkian Garden with sounds ranging from pop and contemporary to noise and experimental.
