WELL... SOME FRIENDS SAW IT DIFFERENT, I RECEIVED CROP AND/OR EDITING SUGGESTIONS... AND... I DECIDED TO LEAVE IT AS IT IS, EDITION WAS TO CHOOSE SIZE (MY GEAR GIVES OUT OVER 20MB FILES...) AND GIVE THE TITTLE.
THIS IS ABOUT THE "CANTE ALENTEJANO", A TRADITIONAL MUSICAL GENRE FROM BAIXO ALENTEJO, PORTUGAL. INSTRUMENTAL FORMS OF MUSIC HAVE ALWAYS COEXISTED WITH SINGING, WITH COMPOSITIONS BEING ADAPTED BETWEEN THE GENRES.
ON 27 NOVEMBER 2014, DURING THE COMMITTEE'S MEETING IN PARIS, UNESCO CONSIDERED THE ALENTEJO SINGING AS AN INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF HUMANITY.
THIS REPRESENTS SINGERS PERFORMING.
