It was on December 14, 1992, that a new project was born at the Faculty of Economics of Porto, which sought to fill an important gap in the academic life of the faculty. On April 22, 1993, TAFEP performed its first performance. Two years later, in the summer of 1995, there was the edition of his first magnetic record, called “Passos Perdidos”, which kept for posterity the main themes that TAFEP had been playing since his birth. Subsequently, “P’ra nunca esquecer”, “Retratos” and “Noite de Estrela” were other CD’s that TAFEP edited, having released, in 2009, its first (and to date only) DVD “Economia em Festa!” . Throughout its existence, TAFEP has been proud to represent and raise the name of our beloved college very high, not only for our country but also for the rest of the world. TAFEP’s story is not just a list of events; it is also, and above all, a set of connections and affections that are created between people, places and even objects. More important than the many awards achieved, are the bonds of friendship cemented within TAFEP and among all those who, in one way or another, relate to it. Over the years, all its elements have established and strengthened a unique spirit, which only the experience at TAFEP can provide, taking with them stories of a huge and unforgettable longing for all those moments in which they participated and helped them to grow. TAFEP has been celebrating, since the 10th anniversary of its construction, every five years with pomp and circumstance, with special memorable concerts on the best stages of the city. TAFEP is now more than twenty-five years old, having recorded this milestone with the celebration of its XXV anniversary in an exciting show, at Alfândega do Porto, in November 2019, which brought together more than 100 members on stage.
