A Garden Full of Sound: Afonso Portinha & Banda Live at The VALLEY

On the evening of July 31st, our garden became a stage for connection, rhythm, and shared joy as Afonso Portinha & Banda, a talented local pop rock group, delivered an unforgettable live performance at The VALLEY.

But this wasn’t just any concert. The band surprised our international community with a custom medley of songs from the home countries of our colivers — from the vibrant rhythms of Ecuador and Brazil, to beloved anthems from Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The result? Pure magic.

Colivers danced, sang, and cheered as the garden lit up with music that spoke not just to cultures, but to hearts. It was a moment of unity, joy, and celebration — one of those nights that reminds us why we choose to live and work together in this place.

Huge thanks to Afonso Portinha & Banda for making the night so personal, powerful, and full of life.
This is what The VALLEY is all about.
