The sound of Paulo Tato Marinho's bagpipes will mark the Bacchus Hour this last Thursday of November, on the 30th.

In 1983, Paulo joined the band Sétima Legião, and in the following year, he joined the dance and singing group Anaquiños da Terra da Xuventude da Galiza - Centro Galego de Lisboa. In 1992 he was one of the founders of the musical group Gaiteiros de Lisboa. In 1999, he was one of the founders of the Portuguese Association for the Study and Dissemination of Bagpipes (APEDGF).
