Música Viva Manifest (1949-1993) “… Intellectual production (…) is liable to a
constant metamorphosis, under the evolution law. Music is movement, music is life.
MÚSICA VIVA follows the present times in its way of discovery and conquest, fighting for the new ideas for a new world, believing in the creative power of human mind…
MÚSICA VIVA believes in music power as an universal language, as well as in its role in a better union between the peoples.
