José Marmelo e Silva, self defined himself as a writer that did not write to sell books; a sentence reveals a singular man, in personality and in writing. This typical house of Paúl is particularly appropriate for his evoking, since few have described the region and the river so well as himself. His house is a space for reading, discovering or rediscovering his writing, to get to know him through his books and objects.
The art of making and playing bombos (drums), a very embedded tradition in this region, is evoked here. Percussion in the traditional Portuguese music is equally focused through singularities and differences of the various instruments. The space promotes workshops and works directly with various bombos groups that exist in the region.
